4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and detailed guide to weather, 12 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This book offers excellent indepth descriptions and explanations of weather systems that are relevant to all pilots. A large number of aspects of weather are covered, from small scale cumulus formation to the interactions of entire weather patterns. As a glider pilot, this book has given my a good understanding of how to analyse weather forecasts accurately, and has proved to be extremely useful.

Some of the book is slow going to read, especially when it starts getting too technical, but if you are interested in aviation then a large portion of this book will be relevant to your flying.

2.0 out of 5 stars too complex, 16 Jan 2006
This review is from: Meteorology and Flight: A Pilot's Guide to Weather (Paperback)
This is not very user friendly book. I'm not a professional weatherman so this is far too complex. I would have like more down-to-earth definitions of different weather phenomenons. Now it's just painful to read in case you dont have any baseline experience anything about weather.

Definitely not for beginners
