‘Lesson Plans for Helicopter Flight Instructors’ is a compilation of lesson plans covering the most popular topics for today’s helicopter ground lessons. A much needed resource specifically designed to cater for helicopter CFI’s and CFII’s, these lesson plans illustrate how the whiteboard should look and leave the student with comprehensive and intelligible plans from which to revise. The author has a passion for helicopters and has given instruction in Bell, Schweizer and Robinson helicopters. He decided to create these lesson plans after becoming frustrated with the traditional “words only” plans, geared around the fixed wing community. Each lesson plan conforms to FAA standards and includes timings, definitions and objectives for every subject.

The Signage Planning Manual is designed to be a planning aid for the concept of pedestrian signage systems. Based on thorough scientific research this manual contains ready-to-use information for the building owner as well as for the signage planner.

This Signage Planning Manual summarizes renowned international regulations and planning recommendations in a comprehensive way, which makes planning of user-friendly wayfinding systems easier. The planning criteria become more objective and transparent, thus creating the basis for an unbiased assessment of the planning results in terms of logic and overall quality.
