Weather is aviation’s most challenging variable. New weather data resources, a greater understanding of hazardous weather phenomena, and new reporting formats enable today’s pilot to picture actual and forecast weather better than ever before.

If we stayed on the ground every time the word “thunderstorm” or “icing” was uttered in a forecast, there would be remarkably few airplanes in the air. We also know skies forecast to be clear can turn angry in a hurry when weather doesn’t behave as the computer model predicted a few hours ago. That’s why pilots need to be familiar with the weather-producing forces at work in the atmosphere, know how to acquire the information they need, and interpret the data they get.
