Nice Pictures
Very nice pic's it's detailed on the Alps free flying scene, very detailed. Maybe for the future a bivouac section could be included, it would be fun to be able to fly from one takeoff to the next one.

Essential reference for pilots visiting the Alps
An outstanding reference for flying in the Alps. If you are a visiting pilot this book is essential..! Great pictures, maps, site details including accommodation options, local clubs or schools, non flying activities etc. I even bought copies for my friends living in Europe which encouraged them to get out and visit new sites.

Very helpful !
The book is very complete, the lay-out is beautiful and the information about the flying conditions and safety are a must read. If you plan to travel to the alps to fly, you should definitely buy it.

Every free flying pilot in the world should buy this. Zillions of sites covered. Very easy to understand!
I love the layout, the graphics and everything about this book. If you are a serious pilot and you want to fly some of the best spots in the world - THIS IS A MUST HAVE book!! In fact - DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT not ordering it! - It will save you a ton of money when on a flying holiday, you will navigate quickly to the best spots: - Better planned trips - this makes posse trip planning a breeze - On a bad weather day - rather than accepting no-flying you may well find a nugget here that gets you into the air! - This is what we did :-) Smiles all round. Well done and thanks for taking the time and effort to make this! - This is like a "Lonely planet guide" - but for Free flyers :-)

PDF inutilisables, donc aucun intérêt
quelqu'un a limité a dessein la qualité des pdf (Amazon ou l'éditeur?) pour, j'imagine, évité qu'on pirate. Du coup, la carte principale des sites est tout simplement ILLISIBLE, inutilisable, et tous les autres plans de situation sont de mauvaise qualité. Stupide!
