Summary: Extremely helpful
Review: From reading this book one can understand the passion the author has for his subject.I have just started on my own paragliding journey and already my copy has proven to be an invaluable source of information on all aspects on the sport especially on meteorology ,canopy collapses and cross country.The book is well written , easily understood,and typicall of an Englishman -with a sense of humour! On a critic's note , I feel that maybe an addendum should soon be included due to technological advances that have been made , some areas are slightly outdated . I also feel that he could have included a section on maybe a few overseas countries ,flying sites , conditions to be expected and dangers to look out for etc. All in all , a fantastic buy and one I thoroughly enjoyed and still learning from.

Review: I bought this book in anticipation of taking paragliding lessons because I just could not wait and had to have something to whet my appetite. This book did just that. I'm still waiting to take those lessons but this book will have me prepped when I do.

Summary: Exciting book!
Review: I had to buy this book as part of the paragliding training course I did last year. the book prepared me well, and I still find myself thumbing through it every now and again. the sport of paragliding is moving forward technology-wise and my only criticism would be that the book is dating quickly but I have just noticed that Noel Whittal has released an updated version of the book..it would be a good idea to get the latest version.

Summary: Excellent book for budding paraglider pilots
Review: Noel Whittall has written an excellent introduction to the art of paragliding. An experienced hang- and paraglider pilot, Whittall knows his subject well. The book is geared towards the novice, and experienced pilots won't benefit that much from the book. It is very well illustrated, with lots of colorful photographs. The book deals with all aspects of flying, from rules and regulations to meteorology, while stressing the importance of professional instruction. If you are thinking of starting paragliding or if you are a novice pilot, this is definately a must-have. If you have logged a few hours of air time, you already know most of what is covered here

Summary: A very good pre-training book
Review: Since I'm going to learn how to paraglide this spring, I decided to buy a book to help initiate me. Mr. Whittall obviously knows his sport and knows how to dumb it down a bit for us beginners. He tells you what you can expect your first times launching and landing, the importance of a serious attitude toward this specialized aviation, and all sorts of tidbits about weather and finding lift. Although the book as a whole could have used better organization and proofing before publication, it is nevertheless an enjoyable and informative read.
