Hello
I've yet to decide which flight school to attend but I would like to review some of the ground school material to see what its all about.
Can anyone tell me how can I get my hands on the ground course reading material? I'm assuming all Canadian flight training schools use the same material.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Ground Course Material
Dave,
You'll find more discussion geared towards helicopters at http://www.verticalmag.com/forums/can/ don't be offended if no one answers you here, as this site is predominately fixed wing.
Your school should have provided you with a list of the texts used, but the short list is fairly common regardless of the school.
From Transport Canada:
Helicopter Flight Training Manual:
http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/p ... nu-976.htm
and the Aviation Information Manual:
http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/p ... u-3092.htm
Odds are they also probably refer to
http://www.amazon.ca/Principles-Helicop ... 1560272171
and/or:
http://www.amazon.ca/Cyclic-Collective- ... 0557090660
Since it's always best to learn from other people's mistakes you could also try:
http://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Traps-Helic ... pd_sim_b_5
There's probably other items I haven't listed, your school should be more then happy to get you started so your well read before you show up. Good luck
