Soaring

By Phyllis J. Perry

The word sailplaning and the more common terms gliding and soaring are used almost interchangeably. The Federal Aviation Administration uses the term gliders in its license certificates. Gliding refers to forward and downward movement. Soaring occurs when an aircraft gains altitude through natural lift. This book explains how to soar safely and how to enjoy soaring safely.
