Product Description

Product Description
This book explains how to recognize good and hazardous flying weather by looking at the causes and effects of atmospheric phenomena. These include air masses, high and low pressure areas, cloud formations, fronts, thermals, inversions and anti-cyclones. For those preparing for the Bronze "C" award or for one of the Private Pilot's Licence examinations there is a useful appendix with revision questions and answers. Derek Piggott is the author of a number of well-known books on gliding and is a gliding expert.

4.0 out of 5 stars understanding weather, 13 Aug 2002
This review is from: Understanding Flying Weather (Flying and Gliding) (Paperback)
I found this book very informative an easy to understand. Derek piggot is a good author and explains his theorys well so that you can understand concepts much easier. Other books i have tried were to hard to intake all the information but i found that this book was well structured which made easy reading. Derek being a top glider pilot understands the need for simplicity in his books so people of all standards from begginners to diamonds can absorb all the information he is trying to get across.
