4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent flight instruction book, February 14, 2000

By A Customer

Tom Knauff is acknowledged as leading instructor and has written a very good book. It leads you through an entire flight training plan to solo with an emphasis on safety and decision making. However, it is meant to be used in conjuction with your actual flight training so be sure to discuss using this book with your flight instructor. There is an updated (1995?) edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for soaring beginners, June 4, 2001

By	"sweetpea2001" (new york, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Glider basics: From first flight to solo

I got this book from Tom himself, who took me for my first glider lesson. This book is technically straightforward and a great read for beginners. I recommend all of his books, and own them all.
