|
 |
|
A clear, practical, applicable guide for putting weather information to work in flight. Key features: new chapter on satellite imagery;
completely revised to new METAR weather reporting format; wind chill/comfort index added; new technology, procedures, and National Weather Service reorganization; new weather resources and products identified and explained.
Whether you're flying into |
the wild blue yonder, gray skies, or pitch-black night, Terry T. Lankford's classic weather guide for pilots is your one dispensable source for clear meteorological information.
In this easy-to-understand book, FAA Weather Specialist and 30-year veteran pilot Lankford gives pilots practical weather guidance for safer flights.
In Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning, you'll find more than weather theory and simple assessment information. Terry Lankford gives you: hands-on advice on pilot interpretation and application of diverse weather information; the voice of experience in applying real-life techniques to specific situations; pilot-tested, best-practice procedures for all types of conditions, forecasts, and flight planning; vital information on challenges such as vorticity, icing, low-level wind shear, thunderstorms, and turbulence; a pilot-savvy understanding of the limitations and evolution of weather forecasting; clarifications of dangerous misunderstandings and misconceptions about weather forecasts and terminology; the most efficient ways to get the meteorological information you need and make maximum use of FAA automated services; decoding of weather and NOTAM abbreviations.
Providing the equivalent of in-depth experience in gathering, interpreting, and applying meteorological information, this book puts the goal of weather-wise piloting within easy reach. Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning will raise your confidence level as it raises your skills.
