On the premise that activities are more enjoyable when we're successful at them than when we're not, this book is written with the intention of providing you with all the information needed for successful, enjoyable flying, regardless of your present skill level. Whether you're just starting out, are already an accomplished pilot flying for the pure joy of it, or enjoy flying in competition, you'll find plenty of information here to assist and challenge you in your pursuit of this fascinating sport and hobby.
This book is structured in such a manner that each chapter stands alone, although almost everyone will find an initial cover-to-cover reading beneficial. Additionally, cross-references have been provided in the text to indicate where pertinent information in other chapters and sections can be found. The companies and organizations mentioned are listed alphabetically at the end of the book.
I hope this book helps you to get as much pleasure out of your flying as I have been privileged to enjoy while gaining the experience required to write it. Have fun!
