5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive book on Microlighting theory, 19 Sep 2001
By A Customer
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Microlight handbook, 21 Dec 2002
By Iain Smith (Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Highly detailed but not an easy read - Text Book Stuff, 27 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This really is a text book, a manual as the title suggests. For those aspiring microlight pilots like myself the book is a wealth of information and seems to provide all of the material you need for the theoretical part of pilot training. My real gripe with the book is that it makes a not too difficult subject seem very difficult. This is because of the writing style which seems to come straight out of a military manual and thus fails to differentiate common sense from science. I would recommend the book to the serious student but be prepared to 'work' the book to get the information you need.

4.0 out of 5 stars 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
Published 8 months ago by damoske

3.0 out of 5 stars 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

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for UK microlight students
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. Read more
