Flying Colorado Mountain Weather

Overview
| This seminal book highlights reading clouds and flying mountain weather. It’s a stick and rudder text, including full color photographs printed to art-quality standards. The material explains airplane crashes in all sorts of downdrafts, from lee-side downdrafts in the mountain wave, to windward side flows across the Continental Divide. Microscale weather is a problem not identified at all in general aviation mountain flying, but this book exposes the hazards. The book also contains chapters on flying turbulence, and risk (with examples from mountaineering, as well as paragraphs from famous pilots). |

Reviews
Great information with pictures of the different types of clouds that form in the high plains/western part of the US. This book is a good reference to the weather experienced in the mountains.
Arrived fast in good condition. Easy read, well written, and informative. Great examples for to fly and not fly the mountains. Each chapter concluded with a great summary paragraph to drive home the point. Highly recommend.
