Does the company you are doing the PPC for not have a spare up to date Flight Manual in the CP's office you can borrow in the mean time? Make sdure that the manual is the latest and greatest edition.
Just curious.........

I wouldn’t imagine that Bell Helicopters would be to concerned about how you received a 206 manual. Since you are going back to fly their model.
They print the manuals and if you are looking for a replacement for your helicopter, they do it for free. I had one replaced for a Jetranger that was contaminated while in the baggage compartment.
So I wouldn’t loose too much sleep over a copied CD.

didn't rolls royce jack up the price of their manuals a few years back. I can just imagine how many copiers were running low on toner after that.
Here at Eurocopter, I think they take copyright a little more serious. Even our own manuals that the general aviation public doesn't have access to, are very well marked "not to be copied". I don't believe it's a dollars and cents issue, it has to do with avoiding use of old, out of date information.

I should have learned by now.....tisk tisk. I'm not talking maintenance manuals but flight manuals. Once again it's up to the individual who opens the manual to verify that the manual is up to date. One who uses it, uses it at their own risk. I'll have to get my lawyer to answer my next responce.
MagSeal is right, and Bell takes it very seriously as well. It can be very dangerous to refer to any controlled document that isn't properly maintained.
The cost of the manuals is not so much a money-grab by the manufacturers, but the astronimical cost of actually producing them (not the printing, but the controls and distribution costs).
Having said that, using an old RFM for reference and study probably isn't that bad, but you should try to get a current version if at all possible. The 206 series isn't likely to see many surprises, but some of the newer types can see big changes in the first few years.
