"Aviate Navigate Communicate" is designed to pass on the lessons Wayne Sand learned during his time flying weather research airplanes and studying the impact of weather on aircraft accidents. As a scientist and pilot, he flew highly instrumented airplanes into severe weather—thunderstorms, lightning, hail, rain, snow, icing, mountain-induced weather, wind shear, and microbursts—to collect data for science. With a deeper understanding of the science involved with severe weather, dive into true stories that will enable pilots and others to better understand potentially severe weather.
