Best Aviation Weather Textbook out there!
By James H. Henderson
from Kearney Missouri
on Monday, June 11, 2007
Pros: Excellent discription of basic weather hazards that affect flight
Cons: some of the FAA and NWS material is dated due to organizational changes
Review:
This book met and exceeded my expectations. It is concise and up to date and gives the basic information necessary for a pilot to understand how weather will impact his/her flight. Some of the NWS and FAA material was dated due to organizational changes but the basic weather information is right on!

The textbook was very well thought out. It is challenging material to read, but does give great illustrations when needed. The book is in color and chapter sizes are not too big!

Very clear and easy to understand. The only thing I think it could be improved is the quality of the paper. Looks like a regular printer paper.

the book continues to be the definitive book for aviation meteorology
By Jim Henderson
from Kearney MO USA
on Monday, September 24, 2007
Pros: A great stand alone guide to aviation meteorology forecasting
Cons: didn't find any
Review:
I was certainly happy to see that Pete has updated his third addtion with the latest information from the FAA and NWS. I have used all three editions as training guides for foreign aviation meteorologists coming to the United States for addtional training. All of them have told me it was an excellent introduction to aviation forecasting in the United States and added solid information to help them in their training and their work at home.

The best gets better!
By Terry Jr
from Gales Ferry CT USA
on Friday, April 25, 2008
Pros: Well illustrated; quality photos; numerous charts & graphs; very descriptive
Cons: Cost (but let's be realistic, text books are expensive); more high altitude meteorology for ATP would be nice
Review:
I hope to be a life-long CFE, and I've owned a Peter Lester "Aviation Weather" text since before I was an instructor. I've now upgraded to the latest edition, and more than one of my students have purchased it having paged through my copy. This is an informative, well illustrated, easily read and understood introductory text to the complex topic of flying weather and weather services & products available to pilots. It is an essential supplement (and easily a replacement to) the FAA "Aviation Weather" advisory circular (AC-006). Make no mistake, this is a weather theory book, not a weather flying book. A must though for anyone pursuing an instrument rating or beyond!

Pros: Concise and up to date with current material
Cons: Basic understanding of meteorological principles required
Review:
I continue to use this textbook as prepatory material for training foreign meteorologists coming into the U.S. for training. Very comprehensive and up to date and forms a great basis to build on. I recommend it for all meteorologists wanting to know specifically about aeronautical meteorology.

The leading textbook on Aviation Weather
By James
from Kearney MO USA
on Friday, February 29, 2008
Pros: Up to date and comprehensive
Cons: none
Review:
I have used all of the editions in my training work and have had nothing but positive feedback from the students. Dr. Lester continues to update the material and one can find no better reference to the field of aviation weather hazards.

I continue to use this book and the lab manual in my work in training foreign meteorological students. It helps them with their English speaking and brings us all to a common level. It is as modern as the day it was written.
