Thanks for the quick reply XX.
Which of the books would everyone recommend reading first? I'm a solo glider pilot and was in the ATC for 5 odd years so I know a fair bit about theory of flight but only a limited amount specific to powered flying.
Would the Thom 'Flying Training' book be a good start or would 'Aeroplane Technical' be better suited?
Obviously I know I'm going to have to read both eventually but which would be of more benefit for first lessons?
