I WOULD NOT BUY THIS BOOK AGAIN
by Thomas from Cheyenne WY USA
Pros: Good info (but could be better organized)
Cons: Expensive, poor editing job, misspelled words, incorrect grammer, hand-drawn figures
Review: I am a commercial pilot and have logged 4500+ hours. The book contains misspelled words, incorrect grammer and poorly drawn figures. I WOULD NOT BUY THIS BOOK AGAIN. I recommend the Glider Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-13) instead.
