Changes to this 4th edition (2013) include: In this fourth edition of Jeppesen Aviation Weather, the author - Peter Lester - has added information about new developments in the acquisition of weather data and how pilots can access and apply that data. Examples of available weather products have been updated and the text revised to reflect the shift toward electronic access to weather reports and forecasts. Reader input prompted the addition of many new NTSB reports to illustrate relevant flying hazards.
