Transition to Gliders

Perfect for power pilots who want to discover the joy of soaring--or for beginning glider students--this new video shows you "what you should know" about flying gliders. Bob Wander, noted glider instructor and best-selling author, joins the Sporty's Academy team to take you into the cockpit of several training gliders. With exciting in-flight footage, you'll see all the maneuvers from inside and outside the aircraft, and you'll ride along for a self-powered launch, an aero-tow and a winch launch. Also covers aerodynamics, stalls, spins, speed-to-fly, spirals, all training maneuvers, soaring weather (including ridge, wave, convergence and thermal soaring) and much more. State of the art 3D graphics and animations are used throughout to explain complicated subjects. This comprehensive program will prepare you for your FAA glider checkride and beyond.
