Powered Paragliders Take Note!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Powered Paragliding Pilot Training Manual (Spiral-bound)
This training manual is a good source of information about learning to fly PPGs, some of which I haven't seen anywhere else. This isn't a book ABOUT paragliding, but a training manual on how to learn to fly and fly safely. There are sections on technical topics, such as wing dynamics, 2-cycle engines, and propeller torque effect; as well as sections on pre-flight checks, take-off techniques, landing, regulations and rules of the air, and emergency procedures, to name a few. All in all, the manual contains a great deal of useful information to complement flight instruction (but by no means should be used as a substitute for professional flight instruction). Many typos and a few drawings that look like they were made with an etch-a-sketch detract from the overall quality. Nevertheless, there is lots of good information here. The section on Emergency Procedures is thorough and excellent.

excellent!,
By David Abernathy (McKees Rocks, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powered Paragliding Pilot Training Manual (Spiral-bound)
Well spent money. Good (very good) introduction to powered paragliding. Not perfect, but a good handle on what you are dealing with. Canadian author, and theyn have more regs. than we (U.S.) do,soa little warning.Very Good Book.Very highly recomended by me. I*ll keep this one for reference. still have not found a good technical book. But this is a VERY good starting pont(teaches some of the questions)
