Customer Reviews

Pilots need this

I am a flight instructor and used this book to learn about what the FAA offers to pilots in the way of weather services. It explains the coding for their shorthand weather reports very well and was exactly as advertised. The book arrived in new condition.

A necessary tool for pilots

This gives insight and takes out the mystery to decoding aviation weather. The AIM provides a good explanation, but this book details EVERYTHING with explanations for why things are done as they are.
