No glider pilot wants to land short of his destination, but it inevitably happens. This book, by longtime CFIG Don Ingraham, goes step by step through the decision-making process that every glider pilot uses during cross-country flights. It helps to manage the practical and—no less important—emotional considerations that go with this event. Emphasizing constant inflight planning and conditioned responses, Ingraham will help your next landing out experience be not only survivable, but less stressful.
