Flight without engine - The textbook for gliders

In this extensively revised and updated new edition of an absolute classic, Winfried Kassera gives glider pilots - from student pilots to flight instructors - all the knowledge they need to not only "operate" a glider, but to learn to master it properly. The student pilot will find everything he needs for exam preparation, the flight instructor will find material for his lessons and the active glider pilot will find background knowledge that he may not (or no longer) be familiar with in this form: aerodynamics, technology, weather and aviation law. A standard work established for years in now 22nd edition!
