Does Chinook helicopter have pedals?
Yaw (directional pedals). (1) Directional control is accomplished by differential lateral tilting of both rotor discs, which causes the aircraft to turn about its vertical axis. (a) Left pedal input causes a left tilt to the forward rotor disc and a right tilt to the aft rotor disc.
How long does it take to learn to fly a Chinook?

What is the civilian version of a Chinook helicopter?
The military version of the helicopter has been exported to nations across the world; the U.S. Army and the Royal Air Force (see Boeing Chinook (UK variants)) have been its two largest users. The civilian version of the Chinook is the Boeing Vertol 234.
What is the difference between the Chinook and its competitors?
The CHINOOK can also use all 100\% of its engine power for vertical lift, while his competitor – again like all normal helicopters – diverts 10 to 15\% of the power for the tail rotor drive. So, both have their merits.
What is the difference between the Chinook and the King Stallion?
What definitely is a significant difference is that the CHINOOK has a much higher loading height through the rear ramp due to the tandem rotor without tail rotor shaft. The loading height is more than five metres, which is not only higher than that of the KING STALLION (2.4 metres), but also higher than that of any other conventional rotorcraft.
