ATC & Weather: Mastering the Systems Overview:

ATC & Weather: Mastering the Systems
by Richard Collins

"There are always two systems out there—air traffic control and weather —and the responsibility and the challenge come from fitting the airplane into both of them as smoothly as possible."

In his new edition of Mastering the Systems, author Richard Collins reveals how to work air traffic control and weather services to maximum advantage. The emphasis is on judgment and the interface between pilot and environment, addressing both VFR and IFR situations from flight planning on through to arrival, approach, and landing.

Collins explains the factors pilots need to consider when making these decisions, supplementing with examples from personal experience and accident reports.  He lays all the factors on the table so they have enough information to develop individual pilot and airplane limitations.

Pilots will learn exactly what they can and should ask of ATC to help them out of a mess.
