Okay, that's the kind of heads-up I was looking for. Looks like he
knows his stuff.

Thanks...


I only viewed the sample lesson on that site, but I still think there
is room for a book like the one you suggested.

For example, the first lesson talks about icing in cumulus clouds
being greater than in stratus. What would be insightful is to explain
why, not just remind us of the facts. Detailed explanations may turn
off many pilots, but I am sure there are some who would find this
useful. In any case, like other have mentioned, I doubt the market
will be large, but I am sure you already knew that. If you are looking
to write a book that every pilot would buy, then I am afraid this may
not be a exercise worth your time. But if you are going to write
something with detailed analysis and explanations, sign me up.
