Principles of Helicopter Flight was first published in 1991 and marketed in New Zealand and Australia. It was successful from the very beginning, so much so that in 1996 interests were expressed by Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) in the USA who soon became the publisher of the book.

Currently it is used worldwide by a number of Civil Aviation Authorities as a major study reference for the helicopter examinations and large numbers of students for the PPL and CPL licences internationally use the book to prepare for the examination sittings.
