REALLY get prepared - from the guys who've done it.

Pros: Engaging, factual, authentic.
Cons: You are going to have to work to put their recommendations in practice.
Review:
This is the 5th revision by a father and son who have been flying light planes and heavy iron in weather for a very long time. One key point they talk about is how to get a full picture of the weather despite "modernization" of weather info delivery. Just watching for green stuff on your nexrad is not enough. They explain why.

Simply excellent

Pros: In depth thought and discussion about the finer workings of weather.
Cons: Repetitive at times. One or two topics I would I have liked the authors to expand upon but we're covered piecemeal throughout.
Review:
This book gives such a well thought out, carefully constructed understanding as to how weather forms. I learned more from the first 40 pages than I did in my entire ground school class. As a pilot who does not flying in ifr, it was fascinating for me to learn the complete workings of the theory, equipment, and psychology of doing so. I bought this book to learn more about weather, not necessarily to fly in it, but I feel that this book is well worth the cost and is an important read for anyone who wishes to learn more about weather.

Learn to Truly Understand Weather
By Patrick Ryan

on Tuesday, October 23, 2007
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.
