The Air Pilot's Manual Volume 2: Aviation Law and Meteorology Paperback – 1 Jan. 2001

A valuable reference and/or workbook for those interested in learning to fly. One of a series of books by Trevor Thom.

Book is out of date.

As expected VG

Prior to Oxford PPL books I tried both the Thom and Pratt books which I found to be very tedious and hard going. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Oxford PPL books. In my opinion they are much better textbooks.Compared to Thom and Pratt I found that in the Oxford books:* Concepts are explained well using suitable amounts of material. Explanations are not overly summarised or rushed and they are well paced. The text is well-written and the diagrams are clear.* Presentation is well structured. Information that is presented later builds upon and reinforces information that was presented earlier.The Oxford books have more material than Pratt or Thom but I actually found them to be much easier and interesting reading than either of the other two.Here is a link to the Oxford PPL Meteorology text:  Meteorology for PPL and Beyond: Meteorology v. 4: Weather Theory, Met Reports, Met Forecasts (Skills for Flight)

Trevor Thom has produced a fine book covering all important aspects of aviation law and meteorology.There are numerous illustrations and diagrams to explain all the difficult theories behind meteorological phenomena which can effect a flight and this is one of the book's bonuses.Thom has also made it easy for the reader to understand the laws that apply to aviation by taking a step-by-step approach.I would highly recommend this book.
