| Samenvatting: | "Whether you're flying to the wild blue yonder, gray skies, or pitch-black night, Terry T. Lankford's classic weather guide for pilots is your one indispensable 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; and clarifications of dangerous misunderstandings and misconceptions about weather forecasts and terminology."--BOOK JACKET. |
