Information You Might Want
Course Materials
There is nothing to buy! I have PDF copies of most readings, and some others will be linked on the web. My goal is for you to pay $0.00 for your books in this course.
If you would like a head start, one resource we will use is the "Aviation Weather 00-6B" book from the FAA; just do a Google search for that exact phrase. It's the first link. We'll start right where you would expect, with Chapters 1 and 2.
Once the semester begins, everything we do will be linked within Canvas.
Current Weather Conditions
We'll look at national and local current weather maps like these almost daily during the course.
