FAA 's 2007-12-19
This is a definitive tool for pilots. The techniques in this book are easy to follow, and it informs the reader (and pilot) about all the different weather situations in flying, and the science behind them.
Ok 2007-12-08
It is what it is and that is not a lot more than the standard FAA text on the subject. If you want a complete one for the bookshelf, here it is. Is it the kind of thing you refer to daily, no. But as a reference to look through every 6 - 12 months and your a pilot, can't do anything but help.
Outdated Version  2007-11-07
The Aviation Weather Services Handbook is a commercial reprint of the AC 00-45E published by the Federal Aviation Administration and National Weather Service. It is outdated now. The new and updated AC 00-45F was published by the FAA & NWS is dated October 1, 2007 and is available for download on the FAA and NWS web sites. I'm sure a commercial version of the new edition will be available soon.
Same as 1999 edition 2007-10-23
Except for a new cover and font, this is word-for-word identical to the 1999 edition. There's no need to upgrade. Eight years and not one thing in weather services has changed? At least the publisher could have updated the maps! Like most FAA products, it is extremely dry reading, but if you want the facts with a minimum of fluff, it's a good resource.
