In principle flying helicopters in [[FlightGear]] is the same as in real life. Fundamental helicopter maneuvers are described at http://www.cybercom.net/~copters/pilot/maneuvers.html.  Some details are simplified in FlightGear, in particular the engine handling and some overstresses are not simulated or are without any consequence. In FlightGear it is not possible to damage a helicopter in flight.
