The Ultralight Pilot S Flight Training Manual

In the 1890's Otto Lilienthal, Germany's first and foremost contributor to the conquest of the air made over 2,000 unpowered flights in gliders he designed. Greatly inspired by Lilienthal, the Wright brothers were to study his designs, photographs, and the reports of his experiments. Today, modern ultralight aircraft reflect the early pioneering spirit of the likes of Lilienthal, the Wright brothers, Samuel Langley and Glenn Curtiss. Our wings: their vision of over one hundred years ago, are a tribute for all time to their efforts.

This training guide diminishes the dangers and doubles the thrill--and safety--of flying single-engine aircraft at high altitudes in mountainous regions. Logically organized by phases of flight--from preflight preparation to landings--the author combines statistics, techniques, and examples of actions (correct and incorrect) that real pilots have taken in actual flight scenarios. * Details training that offsets mountain flying mistakes * Describes the effects of altitude on pilots and aircraft * Outlines cold weather operations and precautions * Includes search and rescue operation procedures * Reviews take-off conditions from airport mountains
