This handbook familiarizes the aircrew member with weather services, charts, and codes. It serves
as a text and informational guidance for flight training programs, all U.S. Air Force instrument
refresher training, flight instruction programs, and various unit and individual flying training
programs. It applies to all Army and Air Force (AF) units and personnel, including the Air Force
Reserve Command (AFRC), and Air National Guard (ANG). This regulation also applies to the
Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S.
Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. The information contained in this publication meets or
exceeds the information contained in FM 1-230, dated 30 September 1982 which will be rescinded
with the publication of this interservice publication. Support described may also be applied to
aviation within the U.S. Army and its reserve components of the Army Reserve and the Army
National Guard. It is issued to each instructor and student involved in undergraduate flight training
programs as well as to each flying unit. This handbook, when used with related flight directives
and publications, provides weather guidance for visual and instrument flight under most
circumstances. It is not a substitute for sound judgment. Refer recommended changes and
