View Full Version : Visual aids for instructors
Anybody have a source online for good visuals, either Powerpoint or .jpeg type that they use for helicopter ground training?
I've done a couple of searches but there doesn't seem to be one place where I can either rip them or buy them.
Many thanks

A friend of mine has produced this booklet (http://www.msnusers.com/TheHelicopterFlightInstructor/home.msnw) It's FAA based but may help? :hmm:
Thanks that's a start. What I am really looking for is poster size visuals that you can stick on a board or Powerpoint slides that will reproduce into a poster. Things like a height -velocity diagram, vector diagrams like in Wagtendonk, or "attitude on the bubble" type visuals. You know the stuff. I know I should be able to draw them on a white board but some of them take ages.
Fixed wing seem to have such diagrams in spades. Are all yours home drawn?

I think his are home drawn, it's a long time since I've seen the book.
I still have the originals from my CAA instructors course which were all scanned in to my PC but sadly lost now.
They are mostly 'stick' diagrams but I might be coaxed into scanning them in again Example here (b/w) (http://www.a2b-web.co.uk/pics/Ex10.jpg)

Perhaps I should put some on the net to be downloaded?
Just looked at my example again . .

Pm me one of my students years ago did some good power point stuff on lessons 4 - 13. Based on a 300 though with relevent pixs
Many thanks for you replies.
Pedal Stop, the link didn't work on that one, but the idea that people like the Coast guard might have good instructional tools is a good one. They can afford a graphic artist on staff!
MightyGem, this is the sort of thing but it may get a bit grainy if I blow it up to poster-on-the-white-board size. I'll try.
I'm no artist myself so I'm looking for those professionally drawn diagrams that you get in industry sometimes. Maybe training schools make so little money that we cannot afford them...
:confused: :uhoh:
