    Helicopter flight

    Uggggghhhhhh... No. Changing the pitch of the blades via either the collective or cyclic changes the angle of incidence. The angle of attack is the difference between the resultant relative wind and the chord line of the blade.

    At your stage probably not very useful other than having a back up record in case your hard books were somehow lost, which unfortunately happened to me in which case thank God I had the digital copy. For a relative noob I used the digital in several fashions. If a prospective employer showed...
