Weather Flying, Fifth Edition | |
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 briefi ngs 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.
作者简介Robert N. Buck set a New York to Los Angeles speed record at the age of 16. A retired senior TWA jet captain, Buck flew the Atlantic more than 2,000 times. As a civilian, he headed a four-year bad-weather research project for the Air Force, which won him an Air Medal.

网友对Weather Flying, Fifth Edition的评论
I've been flying 40+ years from Cessna's & Boeing's to fighter jets. I was fortunate to come across Weather Flying when I started flying and I have remembered the message ever since - always respect weather. The 5th edition is a great review whilst ensuring I get the most out of the new tools available for weather analysis. I hope all aviators gain as much as I have from Weather Flying.
This book has probably single handedly saved more lives and made more pilots safer than any other I have read. You WILL end up flying in weather some day in your flying career of some sort. You need to have the skills to be able to deal with it intelligently. The information in this book is from an amazing polit who in the days before all the technology learned how to survive and thrive flying weather. His knowledge is priceless for all pilots, as our craft is learned in a lifetime, but mastered only on the backs of the giants who came before us. This is one of those giants.
If you're like me and prefer having an old school style grasp on things, not just following procedures and checklists, relying on computer controlled devices to give you warnings, but rather prefer to understand things from a more simple yet thorough perspective and you happen to be a pilot then boy this book is for you.
This book will help you develop a "commons sense" type of understanding when it comes to weather and flying, it's like Bob takes you on a stroll and says hey, let me share with you the secretes of weather flying.
It's an easy read and has a conversational style to it
If you're in doubt, just get this book, make yourself a cup of coffee, get comfortable and begin to absorb the old wisdom of good ole pilots who really knew what they were doing.
Once you learn to fly you have committed - even if you didn't realize it at the time - to learn how weather works and how you can fly it safely.
This book is worth its weight in diamonds.
Key principles: Don't trust the forecasts and always have an out. It only seems simple once the Bucks tell you how.
If you are a pilot trying to get somewhere in an airplane BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!
Study it and read it over and over.
You will not be disappointed.
I fly VFR. This book addresses things I've not known about weather flying, even after taking courses and reading the FAR Handbook on weather. The author ties acquisition of atmospheric information dealing with highs and lows and constructs a weather perspective as flown from the cockpit. Evaluating weather preflight and again while in the cockpit dynamic says much more than just what weather is. His is written from a lifetime of flying every kind of weather.
One of the best things gained from reading this book is VFR flying and what I now think of IFR flying. I it's time to get the Instrument ticket.
