"One of the most worthwhile pieces of reading matter a pilot could own.''--AOPA Pilot. One of the world's most respected veterans of the cockpit gives you the benefit of his decades of experience flying weather--as a world-record holder, as a commercial pilot with tens of thousands of hours in the air. Weather Flying is regarded throughout the industry as the bible on the topic of weather flying: How to judge it before you take off, how to handle it when you're in the air, and how to decide when it would be saner to take those suitcases back to the hotel. Explaining clearly, with a practical eye to putting the information to use in the air, Buck tells you how to: cope with en route weather changes; fly turbulence and thunderstorms; get the most from your radar; deal with dangerous ice. When the most aviation accidents are due to bad or unforseen weather conditions, what you know can save your life and the lives of your passengers. Having Buck's Weather Flying at hand is the next best thing to having him in the right-hand seat.

Customer Reviews For Weather Flying: Write a review

Tuesday, October 23, 2007 Learn to Truly Understand Weather by Patrick Ryan from Brentwood TN USA  Pros: Understand weather for safer IFR & VFR flying Cons: No recent edition Review: This is a well written, concise and understandable practical guide to weather flying. It goes far beyond the basics and enables the reader to grasp weather basics. It would be more usful if there was a section to guide the pilot in the use of in cockpit weather such as XM Weather.
