As the official manual of the world-renowned British Gliding Association, this book is compulsory reading for all glider pilots and instructors. Highly illustrated and easy-to-use, this authoritative manual guides the reader through every key subject, highlighting what is 'must-have' information and what is less crucial to provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge resource which can be studied or dipped into as required.
It begins with the basics of physics as they relate to flight - written such that even the most unscientific among us can understand. A brief historical overview of flying then follows, before essential gliding topics are examined in detail.
