Product Description
Product Description
Brian Cosgrove's classic introduction to the world of microlight flying has endeared itself to several generations of pilots. To read a 'Cossy' has been the advice given to candidates for the PPL(A) Microlight examinations since the book was first published in the early days of the sport. Now the book has been redesigned and utilizes color illustrations to help the reader understand more clearly the principles of flight, signals and meteorology. The text has been thoroughly revised to bring current information to enthusiasts around the world. It also provides a real understanding and recognition of the factors that influence safe flight.

Brian has written the definitive book covering all aspects of microlighting theory. It is a must for anyone intending to obtain a PPL Microlighting license. Each section is clearly written and backed up with excellent line drawings. When I obtained my license I found the book invaluable, and even now I still go back to it from time to time to refresh my memory. This is a must-have for everyone flying, or intending to fly, microlights

An absolute must for the new wannabe microlight pilot.After searching around, this book can only be described as the Microlight pilots bible.Very easy to understand and full of pictures and diagrams.Money well spent.

Format:Paperback
This is one book that you will be advised by most instructors to get. It covers everything you need though not in a particularly easy to grasp way I am afraid. Perhaps this should make the aspiring student realise that learning to fly is not going to be as easy as may have been suspected. You may buy other books covering the same subjects but this should be top of your shopping list.

Good reference, not really any alternatives though!
This publication has a bit of a monopoly as it is generally considered the (only) microlight pilot's Bible. So generally pilot's buy it out of necessity rather than choice! Read more

It is a well written book, informative and a good read. Will I become a microlight pilot who knows but this book made it look possible.

An excellent introduction to microlighting
An excellent introduction to the subject for someone who knew nothing about it. It is written in a very engaging style which combines precise technical knowledge with humour. Read more

Good concise overview of NPPL requirements
As far as I know, 'Cossie' is essential reading in any case for any microlight pilot - I've yet to start my training, so can't compare to experience yet. Read more

Good but only for boffins
Whist the information contained in the book is obviously sound I found it far too indulgent in the technical areas. Read more
