Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) has released a new edition of the FAA’s Aviation Weather Handbook.
The updated edition includes expanded coverage on new enhancements to aviation weather services and global forecasting tools, updates to turbulence and forecast products (including GTG-N and NDFD), and alignment with current National Weather Service guidance, according to ASA officials.
New content is added on icing, radar interpretation (including chaff), and space weather, while outdated tools are replaced with modern resources, such as the Graphical Forecast for Aviation (GFA), giving pilots access to the most relevant, real-world weather information available today.
In addition to addressing flight safety in visual (VMC) and instrument (IMC) meteorological conditions, subjects covered include meteorology; mountain, tropical, and arctic weather; observations (ASOS, AWOS, METAR, PIREP, radar); advisories (including AIRMET, SIGMET, wind shear); forecasts (TAF, GFA); and more.
Examples and explanations are supported with online references for further weather resources, definitions, and related FAA publications along with full-color drawings and photographs throughout.
Shipping in mid-May 2026, the book is available in softcover and as an eBook. Price: $49.95
