Weather Forecasts Are Aviators'
Road Maps For Successful Flights
Data On Elements More Important Than Knowledge of

Knowing just what is In Tore him
in ttio way of rlcni'-ntal normaicy
or disturbance is far more important
to the long distance airman than
knovvledpe of the highway condi
tions and routes is ta t he motor
tourist and ni-arly everyone knows
that auto road man disp-nsim;
agencies are busier thin year than
ever before.
Weather may make or mar the
pleasure of the motor trip and, un
der some circumstance s, it may in
crease its hazard, but it is not
usually a matter of life or death.
"It's a lot of different, though, when
make the weather," says one pilot i
whose experience qualifies him to i
, speak on the subject. j
"If you know what to expect, you :
can go over, around or under t.he
disturbance in a majority of easts,"
he adds.
That is where the weather pro
phet comes in.
There are a half dozen things
about the weather that an airman
wants to know and know exactly
before he proceeds upon a long trip.
Of primary importance is whrtlnr
he is going to fly head-on in'o a
storm. Storms are hnrd to negotiate
on land or sea, but they are much
harder right up in the thick of them
The knowledge that a storm is
ahead does not halt the flight in
most cases. The pilot is able to steer
a course that will take him out of
its reach. Witness the success of
the air mail pilots in this respect.
One line, traversing a section of the
country that is rich in elemental
upheavals of the type that would be
expected to stop a plane, flew 9.1
per cent of its scheduled mileage
last year largely because it avoided
the storms.
The pilot must know what visi
bility he can expect over the route
he Is traveling. Linked with visi
bility, or a part of it. is the matter
of ce.iling. If low, dense clouds
hang over the acra. It means that
the ceiling and visibility are low.

such a case .the pilot must stay
der the ceiling;. Contrary to the
probable opinion of some laymen,
flying- low is a less safe proposition
than flying high, for if something
gne.s wrong with the ship, the pilot
does not. have the altitude to pick a
landing place.
Depending very much upon the
territory through which tho flight
is to lie made, there is a low ceiling
limit at which many pilots are
avers-' to Paving the ground. Pome

Weather reports contain figures '
on the ceiling and also give clear .
and concise forecasts on visibility, j
tiMiitg the airman the distance in!
miles at. which his landmarks can be
recognized. !
And. of course, wind direction and j
M-loeity are most important items in
t lie airman's weather report. There j
is an inevitable amount
from any normal flight course and
unless the pilot knows which way
and l;nw fast the wind is travding,
he can get far off line, particularly
when fixed landmark's are not visi
ble. Knowing these weather factors,
he is able to make allowance for
thelll.
iliimidi'y and precipitation fore
casts also are important. In addition
to disclosing clouds and rain, they
tell the interesting story of fog, one
of the
enemies.
airman's most annoying
Fog blankets hanging low
to the earth deny the flyer sight of
even the most powerful ground
lights. After Lindbergh's successful
transatlantic flight, it was recalled
that once, lost in a fog, his plane
ran out of gasoline and he was
forced to resort to his parachute to
save himself. I
The man who has seen his motor
car turn from a fine running j
mechanism into a sputtering, power- j
loss machine when the first cold
days of autumn found his carbure- .
tor adjustment too lean will have no ,
difficulty realizing the importance of j
temperature forecasts for the flyer.
If it is important to adjust auto-
mobile engines for differences In !
temperatures, it is doubly important ;
in the case of the plane. ,
But, every item of this informa- 1
tion is being supplied to airmen in ;
constantly better fashion and it Is :
1 playing a vital part in making it pos- ;
j sible to fly in all seasons and under
'all conditions. That is why the
i weather man should not be over
j looked in the distribution of praise 1
, to those who have contributed to air
; progress.
