The Art of ParaglidingReviewsAfter finishing my training, my mind had an overload of new information, and struggling to processes, most of which was learn under some stress. So it stands to reason not all the information was retained? Wrong! Once I started to read "The Art of Paragliding" I found it was a step by step guide to what I had been taught in the training paddock, and then some. If you are serious about getting involved with Paragliding this is the only book i have found that gives you a step by step introduction to Paragliding for beginners. This book explains in a very easy to understanding way all subjects related to paragliding for novice pilots, the diagrams and drawings are easy to follow. I have trouble to let the book out of my hands. It definitive helped me to pass my theory exam as good as I did. So, well done. PS: have done just my 11th flight yesterday This book explains quite simply all the basics of how the wing flies; weather; pilot technique; how judgment skills are important. It covers all the info you need to pass a P2 or P3 rating exam, even aerial space maps and FAR 103 rules. In spite of so much contained information the book is not huge, it's written briefly and interestingly. Highly recommended! The pictures/drawings are gray-scale, which is not that important. The only thing I don't like is the paperback, because it's not durable. See you in the sky ;) Excellent book for beginners to get an idea of how to approach the skills needed to paraglide. good technically for the beginers in this sport. the schematic grafics and drawings would be in colours.
