Customer Reviews

Wealth of Knowledge But Needs Better Editing

Great review of what the FAA wants you to know about weather and what you need to fly in weather or know it time to sit on the ground. Writing and editing would improve the value of the product. For a govt written resource it is great and the price is right. For less than 1/10 of the $100 burger it deserves a place on a pilot's bookshelf.

Great for students

I used this some time ago when I was getting my license and it really helped me understand what i needed to know to pass my test.

A Time Treasured Book

This book has been around for a long time and continues to be used in flight training. I enjoy the simplicity of the illustrations and explanations of weather. I believe this book will continue to be used for years to come.

What the FAA requires you to know as a pilot.

Published as an official FAA Advisory Circular, Aviation Weather (and the accompanying book AC 00-45 Aviation Weather Services) contains the info you will be required to know to pass the FAA private, commercial, and instrument rating written examinations. Aviation Weather is written in an easy-to-understand manner. It discusses the various cloud formations, formation of warm, cold, occluded, and stationary fronts, the life cycle of thunderstorms, winds (both surface and aloft), icing, and many other weather phenomena. Profusely illustrated with charts, graphs, photos, and diagrams. Understand this and you will know how to "fly the weather" competently. A classic book that all pilots should have in their library, with info that will never become outdated.
