Greg Whyte

Greg Whyte, author of "Fatal Traps for Helicopter Pilots" and "So, You Want To Be A Helicopter Pilot", was born in Stratford, New Zealand, in 1958. He joined the New Zealand Police in 1978, rising through the ranks to Sergeant before leaving in 1990. He gained commercial aeroplane and helicopter pilot licenses in the 1980s, and quickly logged up over 1000 hours of flight. The loss of a number of friends to helicopter accidents inspired him to write.

In August 2003 "Fatal Traps for Helicopter" Pilots was published by "Reed Publishing", New Zealand, and the book quickly took off in aviation circles. Helicoptersonly.com [http://www.helicoptersonly.com/sayagain_Fatal%20Traps.html] and Flightstore.co.uk [http://www.flightstore.co.uk/fatal_traps_for_helicopter_pilots.pilot.books/use.id.10.item_id.499/] both describe the book as "“the ultimate book on helicopter safety”".
