Review on ✈️ Exploring the Skies: Glider Flying Handbook FAA-H-8083-13 by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good first book for adults to learn to fly gliding

The book begins with a discussion of ADM, or aviation decision making, and continues with a systematic arrangement of elements a glider pilot needs to know. With. Both the introduction and the explanations focus on the information that the pilot should use to make decisions that lead to safe flight. I have read more technically rigorous explanations of subjects discussed elsewhere, but I have rarely seen them compiled in a format that allows the pilot to understand and then apply them effectively in flight.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete
