Aviation Weather for the Private Pilot (Aviation Books Private Pilot Series)

Aviation weather is a wondrous and frightening subject. Pilots require a deep understanding of a vast number of weather conditions and their underlining components.
Pilots can encounter a range of weather conditions on just a single flight, from a towering thunderstorm that can toss an aircraft around like it is in a washing machine, to thick fog in which pilots will struggle to see just a few feet in front of the aircraft. This book follows closely the syllabi of Aviation Weather from a range of aviation authorities around the world, allowing the reader to obtain the required knowledge in Aviation Weather. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation weather, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the wide range of weather conditions that can influence a pilot’s ability to fly an aircraft safely.
