FAA updates Aviation Weather Handbook
The FAA recently issued a new Aviation Weather Handbook, FAA-H-8083-28. This handbook consolidates the weather information from the following Advisory Circulars (ACs) into one source document. The ACs will remain in effect for now, but they will eventually be canceled at a later date:
-
- AC 00-6, Aviation Weather.
- AC 00-24, Thunderstorms.
- AC 00-30, Clear Air Turbulence Avoidance.
- AC 00-45, Aviation Weather Services.
- AC 00-54, Pilot Windshear Guide.
- AC 00-57, Hazardous Mountain Winds.
The updated handbook is available within your Sporty’s online course portal and also directly from the FAA.
It was his first airplane trip at age seven that made Eric decide to become a pilot. "While boarding the airplane, a flight attendant noticed my interest in the flight deck and urged me to go talk to the pilot. I give a lot of credit to that pilot for my career choice." He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and went on to an airline career. Eric now serves as Chief Instructor at Sporty's Academy and directs the University of Cincinnati’s Professional Pilot Training Program. In addition, Eric serves as a Captain in a Cincinnati-based corporate flight department.
