Weather Flying

By: Robert N. Buck, Robert O. Buck

Narrated by: TJ Johnson

The best resource a pilot can have to understand how to fly in all types of weather

How do you improve on the best guide for pilots to learn how to fly in all kinds of weather? The answer is the fifth edition of Weather Flying. Regarded as the bible of weather flying, this aviation classic not only continues to make complex weather concepts understandable for even the least experienced of flyers, but has now been updated to cover new advances in technology. At the same time, this respected text still retains many of its original insights from over four decades of publication, provided by renowned weather flying veteran Robert N. Buck.

In a straightforward style, new author Robert O. Buck (son of the book's original author) delves into how computers, personal electronic devices, electronic flight-instrument systems, and other technologies are changing the way general aviation pilots fly weather. He addresses the philosophy and discipline required to use these systems, what they are really telling us, and their task as supplement to good flying sense. The updated fifth edition also discusses how to handle changes in FSS weather briefing, including a look at new weather information products and airborne datalink weather information as they affect weather flying.

This new edition features:

• Discussions of weather information—what it is, how to get it, and how to use it
• Explanations of various weather phenomena and how they affect a flight
• Updates on the new GPS and smart technology used in weather flying
• Changes in weather information and briefings
• Descriptions of improved anti and deicing systems
• Serious discussion of the pilot-electronics interface

Now more than ever, having the Bucks' Weather Flying at the controls is the next best thing to having the authors with you in the cockpit.

A must for every pilot

I was recommended this book by my private/instrument DPE during my flight training. I picked it up a year later as a CFI/CFII/MEI and wish I would have picked it up sooner. I now gift this book to every student who finishes the program.

Fantastic read

Some of the content could be a bit refreshed since some of the systems mentioned don't seem to exist anymore but the fundamentals taught here are truly useful and I highly recommend this book for all new pilots.

Excellent information

Great book for students and experienced pilots. Lots of great information. Highly recommend to anyone in aviation.

Excellent information, narration leaves a lot to be desired.

Obviously an excellent book that every pilot should read/listen to.
This one's a little tough to get through with the narrator. I had to look to see if it was AI or not. Sounds like if you asked a rudementary voice generator to read the book to you.

I did not receive the PDF

Why did I not receive the PDF with this book? It is an outstanding and informative book, however, I need the PDF.
