| Get certified in any glider rating including the new sport certification materials. Included in this kit is the best introductory book about soaring that I have ever seen. And the graphics are wonderful. This new addition to the FAA's handbook series is the first official book released by the FAA for the sole purpose of glider and sailplane instruction and knowledge. Originally designed as a technical manual for glider pilots and students, this handbook also contains chapters of beneficial reference information for glider and powered-flight pilots of all skill levels and experience. The Glider Flying Handbook is filled with in-depth coverage throughout on decision making, weather theory and services, aerodynamics, aircraft performance, medical factors, communications, the certification process and regulations, soaring maneuvers and techniques, and launch and recovery. Even if your just curious, you'll want to get this kit.
You'll be fully prepared for any certification with this material. This Kit has all the test standards, guides and questions. It categorizes and presents FAA reference materials and many extras in a convenient, easy-to-use and follow electronic format for your success (see listing of content below.) Study guides necessarily reference these official FAA documents. In many cases, they are the same documents sold by the recognized companies for many times more. In all cases, the material is the final authority in testing and regulatory questions and is as good as or better than what is sold at many times the cost. I have also included many time and money saving tools available on the disk and reference to online tools to assist with planning, weather and training. All are free with this disk. Save your money for flight time.
This Kit categorizes and presents all the documents that will prepare you for flying Gliders for any certification. Home study curriculums individually developed by students should be compiled from material described in the applicable FAA knowledge test guide. This library compiles those materials and many extras on a Kit in one place.

Easy to Use
This Library is self starting. Just pop in the Kit and you'll be flying. Everything is laid out in a logical order with an explanation of why each document is important for certification and continued success. I have tried to include only what is most meaningful. All documents are on the Kit in the original FAA format with no installation to your computer. All are fully indexed and searchable for key terms. The detail, explanations and graphics are outstanding.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to Date
Each document is the current version as of the date of creation (10/7/2007). All test question banks recently changed. Everything else I've seen is out of date. You’ll also be subscribed to updates of this information by download when it changes for 1 year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guaranteed Success
Simply return the disk if you are not satisfied. The material in this library is compiled from publicly available sources and research and documents created during my pilot training. I've put over 350 hours of research into creating and cataloging the material and tools. Using it, I got a 94% on my written test and passed license check rides on the first try. I continue to reference it to stay current and plan flights. Check my feedback to and buy with confidence:
