Previous editions have suffered one common problem—they dealt in part with weather services that continually change, in keeping with current techniques and service demands. As a result, each edition was somewhat outdated almost as soon as it was published, its obsolescence growing throughout the period it remained in print. In 1975, in order to alleviate this problem, the authors completely rewrote the AC. They streamlined it into a clear, concise, readable book, and omitted all reference to specific weather services.Notice:This is a printed Paperback version of the "Aviation Weather: FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 00-6B (FAA Handbooks series)".Full version, All Chapters included.This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the FAA.This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 8.5x11" black and white print.Disclaimer: "The use or appearance of United States (FAA), text, images or logos, Seals on this version does not imply or constitute endorsement of the distribution service."
