Fall Version: Information You Might Want
Everyone: 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.
Everyone: Current Weather Conditions
We'll look at national and local current weather maps like these almost daily during the course.
