POCKET AVIATION
The Online Paragliding Manual


  A link to this superb online manual will be delivered with
your purchase.

“Pocket Aviation: A guide to paragliding” was written out of love for the sport of free-flight paragliding. The author, being a paragliding champion and instructor, has endeavoured to pass on his knowledge meticulously and consistently. He enclosed all his experience and enthusiasm while writing the handbook. He was able to see its results in practise instructing his students and thus improve the content of his previous book written back in 1997. Sense of humour, the use of simple instructions and the ample of chapters involved show the willingness of its contributors.
