of Contents
Each chapter of the Flight Training
Manual for Gliders addresses a separate stage of flight, such as
takeoff, aerotow, or landing. Each chapter is divided into lessons that
cover a specific task, skill, or maneuver.
Most lessons are explained in four parts;
purpose, procedure, common errors, and completion standards. The
“purpose” outlines the relevance of the task or skill. The “procedure”
describes the task or skill in detail. The list of “common errors”
points out the usual pitfalls. The “completion standards” are the
performance criterion that must be met for the lesson to be considered
mastered.
In the front of this manual, you will
find a list of topics titled the
“Flight
Training Progress Record”. The progress record includes every
lesson that a student must master. For every topic in the progress
record, there is a corresponding lesson in this manual. Extra copies of
the progress record are available in the
downloads section of the publisher's web site.
