Book: "Safer Soaring...Made Easy"

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Online: Flight Review Prep Guide
The above link will bring you to the FAA's online list of courses.The "Flight Review Prep Guide" course is an excellent summary of the part 91 regs as well as judgement based decisions. The content is oriented towards powered aircraft but most of it applies to glider flying. There is an exam at the end that allows you to answer the questions over and over until you get it right. Getting the correct answers is the only goal of the exam. You don't have to pass on the first try to get credit.
