Pocket Aviation : A Guide to Paragliding

Paragliding Book

A handy-sized, comprehensive reference book for beginner and intermediate pilots.

The author, former Greek paragliding champion Panayiotis Kaniamos, has collaborated with Dennis Pagen to produce this new English edition of this fantastic book.

Chapters include:

• Design, Material and Equipment
• Aerodynamics
• Launching and Landing
• Meteorology
• Soaring and Thermalling
• Problems in Flight
• Training
• Choosing your Gear
• Human Factors

Simply written with clear illustrations, this 248 page book even manages to squeeze in a little humour... One page is dedicated to helping you recognise your signs of addiction, evident when you name your dog 'rotor' and you only consider losing weight if it'd help you get into the middle of the weight-range...

This book comes bundled with a CD-Rom.
