Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning - eBook

A book by Terry T. Lankford, Weather Reports, Forecasts & Flight Planning, Third Edition.


This book provides information that is not only required to pass
written and practical examinations, but also to prepare the dispatcher
as well as the pilot—from student through airline transport, from
recreational to biz-jet—to operate safely and efficiently within an
increasingly complex environment.

Student, recreational, private, and commercial pilots will develop
abilities to recognize and avoid critical weather situations.
Pilots will learn to obtain weather reports and forecasts, through
the FAA and other sources, then interpret and apply information to
flight situations.

Pilots will understand the principles of forecasting, and applying
forecasts and observations to the flight environment.

Pilots will understand weather collection and distribution, symbols
and contractions, charts and forecasts, and how terrain affects weather.

Pilots will recognize cloud forms, conditions conducive to icing and
other meteorological hazards, and the use of pilot weather reports.

The student pilot will have access to the knowledge of the airline
transport pilot.
