Understand to better practice Ultralight Aviation 5th edition, Didier Horn

Theoretical preparation of the student pilot must be emphasized and become an integral part of the training curriculum.

This book, intended primarily for instructors, will spare them tedious research and unfortunate omissions; its aim is to provide them with a clear, attractive and comprehensive aid.

It brings together all the elements needed to prepare a theory lesson (explanations, comments and diagrams), and provides a rational presentation and progression for their oral presentations.

It will also be useful to all pilots, students, beginners or experienced pilots, who wish to fill in gaps or broaden their skills.

The fruit of extensive experience in training ULM pilots and instructors, this book is above all designed to be easily accessible and accessible to all: it goes straight to the point, deliberately ignoring anything that is not essential to understanding the various topics covered.
