Summary: Weather for professional pilots
Comment: Written by a veteran pilot for pilots. This book is a must for aviators. The latest revised edition is to keep up to some changes in technology (internet and advancement in weather forecasting.
Very nice and not dry like technical books on weather. You will learn all about weather on a pilots perspective.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not just for aviation!
Comment: Simply excellent. It's even better than what the title of the book says: the weather concepts and systems are so well explained that they will be useful for sailing as well. A very, very good book, absolutely must have on your shelf if you're into navigation, by air or by sea.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good book
Comment: One of the essential book to have as of pilot. Worthwhile to have bought it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Still the best practical guide on the market
Comment: I first read this book early in my private pilot training, many years ago. Needless to say, I did not really understand what I was reading. Coming back to it now, with a number of additional ratings and many more hours of flight time to my name, was a revelation. Almost on every page, I found myself saying, "Yes, that's how it is." Buck really knows what he is talking about, whether it be ice, thunderstorms, turbulence, or transitioning from instruments to visual on the approach. Taking to heart what Buck has to say will first and foremost help you to survive as a pilot by making good weather decisions. Just as importantly, he imparts a great deal of wisdom on how to get maximum utility from the airplane while keeping risk to a low level. However, as indicated earlier, the book is definitely not for beginners. A solid understanding of basic meteorology and a considerable amount of piloting experience are needed to interpret it correctly--and safely.

Summary: Essential reading for the GA Instrument pilot
Comment: As a CFI I have numerous books in my aviation library. This book details flying in weather and the mindset required to be a safe and competent instrument pilot.
Recommeded to me by my instructor after I received my instrument rating I now recommend it to students and associates whenever the subject of flying in weather (or not flying in weather) comes up.
I read Northstar Over My Shoulder prior to buying this book so I had an understanding of Captain Buck's history and experience which added weight to the wisdom obvious in Weather Flying (buy that book too!)
