The first part of the book contains an alphabetical glossary on the theory of microlight flying that will be a great help for those needing to bridge the 'jargon gap' of flying theory. The second and third parts of the book concentrate on the practical side of learning to fly a microlight: one section on 3-axis aircraft and the other on weight-shift aircraft. Exercises 1 through to 18 are explained in a simple and plain manner, following the microlight training syllabus, letting you know what to expect in your microlight training course. The fourth part of the book looks at common problems encountered in microlight training, and gives sample theory exam questions.
Illustrated with many explanatory drawings in full colour, the A-Z of Microlighting is a must for every student pilot and the seasoned microlight flyer.
Air Law for Microlight Pilots is the first book to deal specifically with Air Law as it relates to pilots of microlights, gliders, balloons, paramotors, gyrocopters and other ‘sport aviation’ pilots. Designed to enable to user to pass the relevant UK Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL) air law examination, it will be equally invaluable for the qualified pilot seeking to update his or her knowledge of aviation law, flight rules and procedures. This book sets out to detail those parts of Aviation Law which are relevant to sports aviation (recreational) pilots, focusing in particular on microlight pilots where powered aircraft are concerned, explaining the detail of the subject in a commonsense way designed to help the reader learn.
Comprehensive, readable and illustrated throughout (including a full colour section), this book will become the standard reference for sports aviation law. It also includes comprehensive progress and revision questions and answers to help the reader consolidate his or her knowledge.

This landing pattern computer is an easy to use popular plastic circular calculator. Pocket size, this calculator is only 100mm in diameter. Left hand patterns are on one side of the calculator, right hand patterns on the other. The desired runway heading is located in the runway window which automatically co-locates headings for cross-wind, down-wind and base legs. The aircraft heading can be set with the cursor on the outer compass rose enabling the pilot to select the most convenient circuit join method.
Contrasting yellow and black scales enhance clarity.
New from 2003 is this exciting and revolutionary new product from Sifeba products in Australia.
The NAV-AID PLUS solves the most troublesome aspects of visual navigation, off-course heading corrections and unexpected diversions and offers the extra benefit, at little extra cost, of two instruments in one. An in-built circular computer allows you to do your pre-flight and en-route calculations of ground speed, distance and time intervals without the need of another instrument.
This Patented product gives the heading change from present position direct to the destination, or a selected diversion.
The NAV-AID PLUS has for convenience one defined distance scale of Sectional 1:500,000. No multiple scales to cause confusion.
Todays technology has given us the G.P.S. but V.F.R. still requires visual navigation as the primary method. The NAV-AID PLUS and your aeronautical chart is all you should require with the comfort that track corrections or diversions are easily taken care of. THE NAV-AID PLUS has been constructed from a special synthetic material of such thickness and flexibility to allow it to be bent without permanent distortion or breakage. The NAV-AID PLUS
THREE SIMPLE STEPS
1.Place the centrepoint of the base-line over the present position.
2.Align the base-line with the departure point or last fix.
3.Using the radials read off the number of degrees to alter present heading to fly direct to destination.
No need for 1:60 rules or computers!
The NAV-AID RULE accomplishes the task quickly and easily.
