Great for all levels
A helpful reference for all levels of training and experience. I must have for those in the field.

The textbook for Airline Transport Pilots Licence students
This is the definitive textbook for students of the European JAA Airline Transport Pilots Licence theory exams Meteorology paper. All topics are covered in detail, complex topics are explained in simple terms.

The section on Climatology in particular is excellent - this is one of the hardest areas of the ATPL Meteorology exams - I would recommend that confused students read this section over and over with a world map in front of them. I found that on about the third or fourth read-through suddenly things started to make sense.

Easy to understand and helpful to students of its subject.
I found Meterology for Pilots very easy to understand, with excellent diagrams. The coverage is comprehensivefor licence examimations. I particularly liked the sections on Aviation Hazards, Upper Winds Climatology, and Airborne Weather Radar.

Coverage of El Nino is a little sketchy but this can be rectified and improved in the next edition of a good book.
