Question CAP 421

I'm looking for CAA CAP 421 Basic Flying Instructor (Helicopter) Handbook, the copy I have been given is from 1979! Does anyone know where I can get a new one and whats it's called? Also any other recommended reading for starting the Instructor Course?
Cheers H3

CAP 421

Like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was updated in 1993 and appears to have dropped off the CAA list. I have e-mailed them for an answer.

I suspect that if you get an answer, it will be along the lines that since JAR FCL has changed the syllabus, CAP 421 is out of date. Of course, much of it remains valid and it has not been superceded by a shiny JAR FCL replacement, but anyway .......

CAP 421

Here is the answer from the CAA.
"This CAP is now obsolete and has not been superseded by any other CAP. The information in JAR FCL 2 provides all the relevant information."
Good Luck

Sean,

My memory and the CAA website fail me. What is/was CAP 421?

CAP 421 was the CAA Helicopter Instructor Guide. Now defunct under JAA.

This is an excellent book though

CAA CAP 421 Basic Flying Instructor (Helicopter) Handbook


'DFTCH' sent a PM to 'Hangar3' about it, so I guess they might be good contacts to get in touch with.


Of any interest?

I have that info in a PDF (all sections) if anyone else needs a copy - thanks anyway!!

It's one of the docs that I'm studying at the moment, along with refreshing my memory from the CPL course notes. I've been advised to take a look through the CAP by another instructor...

Cheers
Sean
