A great complement to the PPG Bible, this book
eloquently compresses 20 years of ultralight experience and meteorological
research by respected author Dennis Pagen. It explains what and how weather affects
us.
If you've ever wondered why the air behaves the way it does, this book is for
you. The greatest emphasis is on small-scale effects—exactly where we fly
paramotors.
It thoroughly cover everything from turbulence to
thunderstorms. The chapters on lift sources and flying efficiency alone
are worth the price of this book. Understanding the Sky is your key to
complete comfort in the air.
The most valuable resource for really
understanding weather that affects paramotor pilots. Besides making a
normally dull subject interesting, Dennis Pagen is a talented illustrator
who bring the concepts to life. |
