It may be repetitive in some spots， however i am a student pilot and as reading this book i was up doing my solo cross country and like the book said check stations and watch for signs of deteriorating weather。 Thunderstorms started building right over my destination airport the sky went black and the rain came down hard。 I was deciding on what to do an eventually turned a 180 and flew back home。 I wasn't going to chance it。 This book taught me a lot about weather the importance of checking alon It may be repetitive in some spots， however i am a student pilot and as reading this book i was up doing my solo cross country and like the book said check stations and watch for signs of deteriorating weather。 Thunderstorms started building right over my destination airport the sky went black and the rain came down hard。 I was deciding on what to do an eventually turned a 180 and flew back home。 I wasn't going to chance it。 This book taught me a lot about weather the importance of checking along the route and something that today is pushed aside。 Taking control of the skies even if its talking to air traffic control。 Great read。 。。。more

Great bookThis is a book every pilot should read no matter how many hours he or she has under his or her belt。 A great read and very informative。 Thank you to the author for putting this together。

This book is surely in the top 10 of essential books for pilots :）

I think this book is very useful and informative for all types of pilots （VFR and IFR）， but it was just really long。 It was hard to get through。 I know it's not a novel where you kick back in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and just enjoy it。 But to be useful， you have to read it， and to want to read it， it has to be at least somewhat compelling or otherwise interesting。 I furthermore didn't understand the logic of the organization of the chapters， which contributed to the difficulty I think this book is very useful and informative for all types of pilots （VFR and IFR）， but it was just really long。 It was hard to get through。 I know it's not a novel where you kick back in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and just enjoy it。 But to be useful， you have to read it， and to want to read it， it has to be at least somewhat compelling or otherwise interesting。 I furthermore didn't understand the logic of the organization of the chapters， which contributed to the difficulty I had in getting through this book。 That said， if you can tough it out， there's a lot of useful information packed in between these two covers。 I'll probably revisit this book when I get my instrument rating。 。。。more

Very dry but full of good info if you're a pilot。 Doesn't matter if you're instrument or visual。 Lots of good info。 Very dry but full of good info if you're a pilot。 Doesn't matter if you're instrument or visual。 Lots of good info。 。。。more

Bu kitabın çok da yardımcı olduğunu söyleyemeyeceğim， yeterince görsel destek yok。

A surprisingly easy to read book， despite the relatively dry subject。 A lot has changed with technology in the 30 years since this was written， but the fundamentals of weather （and flying it） haven't。 This is a great book for tips on flying weather conditions- first， on how to avoid it and， second， how to fly through it if you find yourself in that situation。 A surprisingly easy to read book， despite the relatively dry subject。 A lot has changed with technology in the 30 years since this was written， but the fundamentals of weather （and flying it） haven't。 This is a great book for tips on flying weather conditions- first， on how to avoid it and， second， how to fly through it if you find yourself in that situation。 。。。more

Great for pilots that do not already have experience with weather flying or risk management。

I'm almost done with this so I figured I'd rate it now。I hesitated reading this for a long time because I stay away from flying in any serious weather and I was worried about how up to date the information is。 This book of course， is a classic and constantly recommended as one of the 5 flying books you have to own。 I can't disagree。 The good: The information in this book has been updated。 He mentions the Internet and GPS。 The fact that he's flown since the DC-3 days adds a lot of weight to what I'm almost done with this so I figured I'd rate it now。I hesitated reading this for a long time because I stay away from flying in any serious weather and I was worried about how up to date the information is。 This book of course， is a classic and constantly recommended as one of the 5 flying books you have to own。 I can't disagree。 The good: The information in this book has been updated。 He mentions the Internet and GPS。 The fact that he's flown since the DC-3 days adds a lot of weight to what he says。 I learned a lot about weather， how to read it and what to do about it and it's made me want to study the weather more。 hH doesn't leave any type of flying out。 He tells you what you need to know if you're flying a 172 all the way up to a 747。 As a matter of fact， his favorite plane right now is a glider！Oh yeah， and it's entertaining！The bad: Well， not too bad。 Some of his weather explanations went over my head。 Also， even though he mentions the west several times， a lot of his explanations are about weather in the northeast。 I also think more specifics on how to check the weather would be nice。 I think he's seen so many changes that he tries to leave it more general。 If you're a pilot， just buy the book。 You know you will eventually。 。。。more
