Danb Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 I recently received my copy of our very own Scott Dennstaedt’s PILOT WEATHER solo to airlines, it’s turning out to be a tremendous weather book, I may have the best weather tool for pilots, a must read, four decades of flying and finally a complete source for pilots, my new favorite Christmas present to myself 3 1 Quote
milotron Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 I agree Dan. I got my copy in November and am very impressed. I wish it was around when I did my previous licensing as it is more complete than the other weather standards out there. The fact that it was signed by Doug makes it even better! iain 1 1 Quote
Jim Peace Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Weather? LOL....speaking as a cargo pilot unless some visibility issues dealing with legalities or a tornado you're going anyway... if you do not at least attempt to go at my company they start with a termination hearing and that is where you may prove your case...and it better be strong They got away at a NTSB hearing with saying there is no weather at night. No-one in FAA or NTSB authority questioned it because .....well its a pay to play govt. Yes that right the NTSB is not even immune.... 1 1 Quote

Only soft cover. Possibly by the end of the year. Good podcast about the book released recently on Aviation News Talk. 1 Quote

We’ve had a couple dozen pilots buy the book who fly for the airlines. Doesn’t mean if you are a professional pilot you can’t learn about weather to make better decisions in flight. Quote

I’m curious, what kind of machine do you fly at work that you can’t fly in a tornado? 1 Quote

Good podcast about the book released recently on Aviation News Talk. Scott, when you do a kindle version, please do a “true” kindle ebook, and not a pdf/image upload. I’ve bought a couple (Mike Busch’s engines book for example) that were pdf or image uploads from the print version. The resulting print was so small and not resizable on the kindle, that I had to revert to the iPad. The book was otherwise excellent, but the delivery frustrating. -dan 1 Quote

It'll be converted to Kindle and ePub (One ePUB file will work on Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble eBook Reader, Kobo Reader, Google). 1 Quote
