ACTION: The student will interpret data contained in winds aloft forecast charts

CONDITION: Given pertinent information about a winds aloft forecast

STANDARD: IAW AC 00-45F

WINDS ALOFT FORECAST


Data based on 010000Z Valid 010600Z FOR USE 0200-0900Z. TEMPS NEG ABV 24000 FT 3000 6000 9000 12000 18000 24000 MKC 9900 1709+06 2018+00 2130-06 2242-18 2361-30

Issue times: Winds and Temperature Aloft forecasts are issued 4 times per day and

overlap each other by one hour (beginning and ending ). Each chart covers a specific

area, usually several states.

Forecast Levels:

Begin usually at 6000 feet MSL

Winds will be given for 6000, 9000, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, 24,000, 30,000, 34,000, and

39,000 foot levels

Through 15,000 feet, levels are MSL altitude, 18,000 feet and above are PA

Winds are not normally given for altitudes below 1,500 feet of the surface

Temps are not normally given within 2,500 feet of the surface

Wind direction

Given in reference to True North to the nearest 10 degrees

Shown in two digits

Wind Speeds

Given in knots (2 digits)

Wind Speeds of less than 5 knots are shown as 9900

2312 would be?

From 230 at 12 knots

1820?

From 180 at 20 knots

9900?

Light and variable winds – speeds of less than 5 knots

Winds above 100 knots – Do the math!

Add 50 to the direction

Subtract 100 from speed

Winds from 250 degrees at 145 knots would look like?

7545

Winds from 180 degrees at 180 knots would look like?

6880

(250 direction +50 = 75, 145 knot winds - 100 = 45)

Forecast winds of 200 knots or more will be shown as 199 knots

Winds from 270 at 250 knots would look like?

7799

Temperatures

In Celsius (two digits), + for positive and - for negative temps

Temps above 24,000 feet are always assumed to be negative
