Flying America's Weather


With maps, photos and illuminating text, Tom Horne explains what to expect, how to prepare for, and how to enjoy the best and the worst of America's flying weather. Readers can learn what to expect before embarking on a new trip. Soft Cover, 329 pages, indexed and illustrated (includes full color weather images).

Despite quantum leaps in cockpit technology, weather radar and forecasting techniques, flying often boils down to "someone sitting in a cramped cockpit somewhere, trying for all he's worth to figure out what meaning those clouds up ahead have for him." An understanding of how larger climatic forces affect each region's specific patterns can give that lone pilot the edge, and this edge is what Flying America's Weather is all about.

This illuminating book takes us on a pilot's tour of our nation's weather, from the brilliant blue of the Hawaiian Islands to the black and gray monster that is the Nor'Easter — and everything in between. It shows a grand and diverse country, dominated regionally by grand, diverse, and understandable patterns of weather. Flying America's Weather combines decades of climate research with hands-on experience, an awareness of larger weather forces at work on local geography, and critical examples of how weather contributes to aviation accidents. It focuses on what weather we can expect from the areas we fly in, yet provides a deep understanding of why it's there. In doing so, Flying America's Weather becomes an indispensable guide for all pilots, wherever they fly.

What our Customers Say

"You were recommended by a fellow student pilot at work who has purchased some pilot supplies from you before. I am impressed with your wide selection of Pilot Gifts, and pilot supplies. Your staff helped me pick the most appropriate pilot gift for my husband who is an airline pilot. So far, your pilot service has been excellent."
-- Audrey,SC

"My pilot supplies and gear arrived just in time for my next flight lesson. My Certified Flight Instructor was so impressed he even placed an order with CFI Pilot Supply Shop. Rock on CFI!!"
-- Christopher, CA

"Thanks for the two hour reply. I must admit I'm shocked to receive a reply on Sunday night. I hope the manufacturer is as helpful as you say they are. What I wanted to say in the first part of my e-mail is that all of my dealings with CFI Pilot Shop have left me extremely impressed with both your prices and service. It is a rare occasion these days where you obtain both reasonable prices and excellent customer service. I look forward to purchasing my instrument/commercial pilot supplies from CFI Pilot Shop."
