 Good but only for boffins June 11, 2006

Whist the information contained in the book is obviously sound I found it far too indulgent in the technical areas. It reminded me of science teachers at school who were so wrapped up in the detail they were unable to convey basic (and not overly complex) theories to the layman.
If you found mathematics and physics a doddle then this book will suit you fine. However, for others you may still find yourself searching the net for far clearer and succint definitions and explanations of normal principals such as how a wing creates lift.
Having read this book I have, if anything, ended up more confused about flying than I was before. However, perhaps when my lessons begin I am able to apply some of this exhaustive theory, I may find it more beneficial.
However, in summary, whilst it offers a wealth of technical information, it is often poorly explained and summarised, and seems to presume that the reader will understand the wealth of flying acronyms mentioned perhaps once in passing in previous chapters.

An absolute must for the new wannabe microlight pilot.After searching around, this book can only be described as the Microlight pilots bible.Very easy to understand and full of pictures and diagrams.Money well spent.
The Definitive book on Microlighting theory September 19, 2001
32 out of 32 found this review helpful
Brian has written the definitive book covering all aspects of microlighting theory. It is a must for anyone intending to obtain a PPL Microlighting license. Each section is clearly written and backed up with excellent line drawings. When I obtained my license I found the book invaluable, and even now I still go back to it from time to time to refresh my memory. This is a must-have for everyone flying, or intending to fly, microlights
