Book Reviews of Aviation Weather (FAA Handbooks)
Book Review: A good basic book on weather and flying
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an easy to read, comprehensive book to its small size (219 pages including the
Glossary and Index).
It covers the following:
o Atmospheric basics: Structure and composition, temperature - pressure relationships and pressure-altitude relationships.
o Basic processes; general circulation, forces; gradient force, Coriolis force, Jet streams, local winds., wind shear and winds and pressure systems.
o Then it goes to more specific processes to cover cloud formation and precipitation and, weather fronts.
o At the next level it covers weather aspects more important to aviators; turbulence, thunderstorms, as well as IFR aspects of weather.
o Additionally, it s also has sections on more specific areas of high altitude weather, arctic weather, topical weather and soaring weather for gliders.
The only thing I could not see in it is the `Walker Circulation' prevailing near the Equator.
This little book will be of general interest and considerable use not only to aviators, but to the average, educated reader who is interested to gain a basic knowledge of atmosphere and weather.
Summary of Aviation Weather (FAA Handbooks)
Earth's atmosphere, common IFR procedures, high-altitude weather, and special area weather considerations are thoroughly discussed in this FAA handbook AC00-6A, the first revision since 1975.
