Prentice, Robert, and Douglas Streu. "Aviation Weather Services." Advisory Circular, AC 00-45F. 2. 6. Newcastle, Washington: Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc, 2008. Print.

This book is going to be an important resource regarding weather. This book is published for the FAA and explains all weather phenomenons for official use. This book will be great for finding out information on weather that pilots need to know before and during flight.

"Cleared for Takeoff." Handbook for Becoming a Private Pilot. 5. 1. Wichita, Kansas: King Schools, Inc, 2006. Print.

This book is a guide for becoming a private pilot in singe engine air craft and even more specifically the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. This book gives all the information needed in order to become a private pilot in single engine airplanes. It discusses rules and regulations and even what to expect price wise. I will use this book to discuss single engine private pilot training.

Knauff, T.L. Glider Basics: From First Flight to Solo. 1. Columbia University Press, 1982. Print.

The man who wrote this is an incredibly knowledgeable person in the aviation industry, especially when dealing with gliders. This reference article gives tips from what he has learned from being an FAA flight examiner and instructor for gliding. It discusses just like the title explains, the basics of gliding from your first flight to solo. The article talks about the best kind of weather for training in and where to train for the best results in gliding.

This website is immensely helpful for aviation purposes. The reason being, is that the FAA is in charge of the skies and they produces the rules and procedures for flying. If you need information on flight training, this website will either give you the information or point you exactly where you need to go. This website will also give you information on where to get flight training and take exams.

Lester, Peter. "Aviation Weather." 3rd. 1. Englewood, Colorado: Jeppesen, 2007. Print.

This book is a reference to aviation weather. I am very interested in this book because it specifically shows why glider pilots need to be more knowledgeable about aviation weather. This book gets very in depth on weather for gliders. General weather for all pilots is also discussed in this book.
