Guide to Helicopter. Ship Operations/Руководство по взаимодействию вертолет-судно

Издание на английском языке
Ship design teams may find certain sections of this Guide of value, and many users may only need to access technical information in the Guide occasionally. The authors consider that retaining advice for both the helicopter and ship on joint operations in one publication is appropriate, and they anticipate that ship and helicopter operators alike will find this consistency useful.
