How temperature and altitude change takeoff roll and climb, with worked examples and planning steps.
02 / Orographic Dynamics
Mountain Wave Rotor Turbulence
How lee waves form, what warning signs do and do not mean, and how to plan around high terrain.
03 / Atmospheric Thermodynamics
Supercooled Liquid Water (SLW)
Why supercooled droplets freeze on contact, the difference between rime and clear ice, and how to avoid it.
