Description
This Advisory Circular 00-45F features full-color illustrations throughout, and full coverage of weather-related tools to assist pilots with flight planning and in-flight decisions.
This text thoroughly explains the many U.S. aviation weather products and services available to pilots. It details the interpretation and application of advisories, coded weather reports, forecasts, observed and prognostic weather charts, and radar and satellite imagery. Weather product examples and explanations are taken primarily from the Aviation Weather Center’s Aviation Digital Data Service website http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov. The AC provides hundreds of weather website addresses for weather resources, definitions, and additional information available in other FAA publications. An electronic copy (.pdf format)* of this printed book is available as a PDF for pilots to access these clickable links — an unprecedented level of convenience and education for planning flights and researching weather.
The Aviation Weather Services AC continues to be a definitive resource when studying for pilot certification exams. This new, greatly expanded and full-color edition should remain a part of every aviator’s library. Includes weather station location tables, lists of contractions and acronyms, weather symbols, conversion charts, internet links, and more. Soft cover, 400 pages.
