Aviation Supplies & Academics has released a new book, “Navigating Weather: A Pilot’s Guide to Airborne and Datalink Weather Radar.”
The new book by Dr. David Ison takes readers through the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to operate both airborne and datalink weather radar, according to ASA officials.
With a focus on simplicity and real-world application, Ison introduces the essential concepts of radar operation and interpretation. Beginning with radar and severe weather theory, he covers attributes of inclement weather phenomena, how they are detected, and how pilots can evaluate these conditions through available radar sources. Airborne weather radar essentials such as attenuation, tilt management, contouring, and gain are explained with real-world examples.
The text outlines advanced features including auto-tilt, turbulence detection, wind shear warning systems, and terrain mapping, and provides operational strategies for all phases of flight.
The softcover book is $39.95, while the eBook is $34.95. You can get both in a bundle for $49.95.
