Unfortunately, due to a house move I cannot afford to continue flying light a/c on a regular basis. Assessment of the budget shouted 'gliding' at me... something I've never done before.
I have 3000 hours on heavy jets and am a little worried about taking to the sky in something that requires rudder
I have already picked my gliding centre and would be very grateful for any pointers to books or web-sites for complete beginners.
I am going to leave my ATPL at home and start as a complete newbie on this.... I'm sure the equivalent of 'effects of controls' might have me nodding off, but I've forgotten more about 'real' flying over the last few years than I ever learned ! No point in going 'blah blah 767 blah blah long-haul' and then looking like a fool ! I appreciate this will be totally different from anything I have ever flown, so I happily relegate myself to the ranks of zero-hour pilots.
Good books worth buying ? Good web-sites to visit ?
Much appreciated.
Cheers.
