Thermal Flying is a comprehensive guide to the art of thermaling and XC flying. This 260 page book is illustrated with clear diagrams and photos to help pilots make sense of the concepts, techniques and meteorology knowledge you need to make the most of each flying day.

Written by highly respected competition pilot Burkhard Martens, Thermal Flying has been translated in to English by PWC pilot Mads Syndergard with a bonus section by world champion Bruce Goldsmith.

This hardback book covers all aspects of cross country flying and spells out priceless information on reading conditions and thermal flying like no other book. Thermal Flying is peppered with experts’ tips and the author’s own personal experiences and beautifully illustrated with succulent photographs.

With something to learn, whether you are a beginner or seasoned campaigner, this is a book that should be on every pilot’s bookshelf!

"Just a note to say thanks for the thermal Flying book - it is actually the best flying book I have ever come across - I think the best thing is that it has some quite advanced stuff, but is still written in quite simple language which is perfect for simple people like me! All the other more advanced books are really 'dry' and I generally fall asleep by page 3! And the pictures are really good too. I like pictures. I will be recommending it to absolutely everyone."

Rachael, Allez Up Paragliding, France
