Flying Orders / Procedures
 

Hi All,
Seeing that it is a time of giving, I need to ask all of you a big favour. I need to set up FLYING ORDERS - from refuelling to formation, night flying etc and I do not know where to start. Can anyone help me with ANYTHING as it is quite a job to start from nothing here in the bush. I will really appreciate it - any helicopter orders will do - especially if it might be on support helicopters (PUMA or Mi-8/17) and or any Gunships.

Everything (and confidentiality) will be gauranteed. Please mail me by clicking on my e-mail icon.

Best regards during this Festive season to all.

Cheers,

Gunship

Gunship,

The US Army Library website has open access to lots of Army Field maunals that cover much of what you want. The web site is:

<a href="http://www.adtdl.army.mil/atdls.htm" target="_blank">http://www.adtdl.army.mil/atdls.htm</a>

1) In the lower right, select "enter the library"
2) Then select "Official Department Publications"
3) Then in the library search form, select "Field manuals" in the left window, and "Aviation" in the right window, then click "submit".
4) the list of maunals available I repeat below, some can't be downloaded (but are listed and readable on the screen).
