DESCRIPTION:
How to obtain, translate, and apply weather satellite and radar images and information to flight planning and operations.
Radar & Satellite Weather Interpretation For Pilots thoroughly describes the usefulness – as well as limitations – of radar and satellite imaging in flight planning and operations and offers in-depth coverage of key topics such as:* Geographical Features* Weather Features* Interpretation and Application* Maps and Codes* Equipment Reviews* Lightning Detection Equipment* Image Illustrations* Flight Planning Strategies* Risk Evaluation* And moreYou’ll also find reference information and maps to help plot radar locations and lists to decode location identifiers. This heavily-illustrated, expertly written resource explains how to o
"Ok nothing special" according to Le Q. This book needs color pictures. The whole premise is to help pilots learn how to decipher sat. and radar images, but you can't tell much about the example pictures due to their quality and their lack of color. However, pilots really need to know this stuff, so something is better than nothing. Buy the used version - not worth "full price.". "Outstanding reference guide" according to David Owens. I borrowed this book from our local library and I like it so much I am ordering it. I am adding books to my library of meteorology, one at a time. Not being a meteorologist, there are of course upper limits on what I can understand or wish to learn. Fluid dynamics with differential equations is one of them.This book is written for pilots. i am not a pilot but enjoy the mechanics of flying-approaches, frequencies, navigating, planes, airport administration, etc. Weather is important to pilots and Lankford . "Great if you're a pilot." according to Robert Hickey. Very technical.
Mr. . TERRY T. Lankford is also the author of five previous books for McGraw-Hill. LANKFORD is a retired FAA Weather Specialist, now being utilized as a consultant by NASA and the National Weather Service on flight weather training and techniques
