Aviation Weather AC00-6A (For Pilots and Flight Operations Personnel)

Paperback Edition 219 pages. Published by US Government Printing Office 1975. Preface: "Aviation Weather" is published jointly by the FAA Flight Stanfards Service and the National Weather Service (NWS). The publication began in 1943 as CAA Bulletin No. 25, "Meteorology for Pilots," which at the time contained weather knowledge considered essential for most pilots. But as aircraft flew farther, faster, and higher and as meteorological knowledge grew, the bulletin became obsolete. It was revised in 1954 as "Pilots' Weather Handbook" and again in 1965 under its present title.
