Weather is in a perpetual state of the atmosphere. All flying takes place in the atmosphere, so flying and weather are inseparable. Therefore, we cannot treat aviation weather purely as an academic subject. Throughout the book, the writers discuss each aspect of weather as it relates to aircraft operation and flight safety. However, this book is in no way an aircraft operating manual. Each pilot must apply the knowledge gained here to his own aircraft and flight capabilities.

Earth's atmosphere, common IFR procedures, high-altitude weather and special area weather considerations are thoroughly discussed. Many of the FAA Knowledge Exam weather questions are pulled from this text.
