Many errors in FAA's "Glider Flying Handbook"
Unfortunately, the FAA takes the test answers from the original flawed FAA edition - thus continuing the incorrect education and contributing to the less than satisfactory safety record.
The flying community justifiably considers the official document as correct information, however the process which these FAA documents are written does not allow for editing by people who actually know how to fly correctly or safely.
It is a giant leap backwards for those who try to improve soaring's safety record.
