Customer Reviews

Great book for soaring beginners

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.

Excellent flight instruction book

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.
