Hi,

There were 2 different revisions available in the USA. I bought the first
one and a few years later a revised (by Reichmann) version came out. The
new version had new example training exercises and other updates. It has
not been updated since then. It is still a great book. I still sell them
quite often.

Good Soaring,

I have 9th edition 1998 and it seems to be still the original.

reread it this winter but was curious if it had been brought into the
GPS/flight computer era yet. If it hasn't been that would be a worthy
project for someone as it is a truly great book and certainly still
relevant but not current with the latest technology.

Frankly, I don't know whether it would be worth the effort. The book
covers all the principles extremely well. There are very few pages which
are obsolete, and I don't think the book would gain anything by mentioning
some GPS devices. Besides, all chapters about electronics would be
obsolete before the ink was dry.
