United States information

I have a printed copy of the FAA "Aviation Instructor's Handbook"
FAA-H-8083-9.

I downloaded the pdf version since there are various people I would like to
see it without lending them my printed copy.

However when I compared the printed copy with the pdf version I find that
the transfer to pdf was a sloppy and inaccurate job.

The pictures appear in the same position on the same pages in the pdf
version as in the printed version. However the text takes more room and so
it gets out of sinc. with the pictures, and by the end of Chapter 1 (which I
have checked) it is one page behind (but the table of contents has not been
adjusted).

Worse, the last page or so of text is totally missing. In addition, the
bottom line on many pages is unreadable or wholly missing.

I have also had a look at chapter 5, again out of sinc. and the last part of
the text totally missing.

Has anyone checked to see if the "Glider Flying Handbook" has been properly
transcribed?

For everyone who is offended at US oriented posts....close this one now.
For those not offended, at our recent pre-season safety meeting it was
brought to our attention that the FAA's glider flying handbook is
available
for download for free in PDF format. The word FREE usually gets the
attention of most glider pilots. The URL follows
