Is gliding for you? What sensations will you feel the first time you go up in a glider? Can you start to glide at any age? Is it a disadvantage if you have already flown a powered aircraft?
Anyone interested in gliding - or anyone wanting to improve their efficiency as a pilot - should read this book for an authoritative all-round picture of the sport. It is far more than an instructional manual and is very much concerned with the feelings and difficulties of the beginner - knowing what should be done is far from being able to do it, especially in flying.
This, therefore, is a book which tells you not just what to learn but how to learn it, and, more importantly, how it should be taught. It stresses the value of good communication between instructor and pupil, both to explain the pattern of instruction and also to discuss the likely problems a beginner will come across in the learning process.
