	Aircraft Icing: A Pilot's Guide by Terry T. Lankford: From two-seat single-engine aircraft to jumbo 777s, icing is a silent creeper and one of the industry's hottest concerns. Covers all aspects of aircraft icing-ground, airframe, and induction. Provides solid foundation of icing theory and physics without superfluous meteorological concepts. Teaches pilots how to interpret icing forecasts and reports and integrate specific aircraft and engine considerations. Discusses practical procedures to deal with icing conditions throughout flight, from taxi to touchdown. Publisher: McGraw-Hill ISBN: 0071341390
	In-Flight Icing by Porter Perkins and William Rieke: This book is the result of over 50 years of combined icing research experience by authors Porter J. Perkins and William Rieke at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Covers meteorological and operational factors including the probability of icing encounters, ice shapes and types, tailplane stalls, recovery techniques and limitations of ice-protection systems. Illustrated charts and black and white photos. To order: Call 1-800-LIFTOFF or visit www.sportys.com Product ID: M815A
	Severe Weather Flying by Dennis Newton: Focusing on detection and avoidance of severe weather, this book teaches pilots how to lessen their chances of being caught in extreme weather conditions. Written so that anyone can understand complex meteorological terms, it attempts to bring across the most crucial principles that pilots can use to fly more wisely. Different weather conditions, including lightning, icing, and wind shear, and their effect on flying are discussed in detail. Publisher: Aviation Supplies & Academics ISBN: 1-56027-427-1
	Weather Flying by Robert N. Buck: Weather Flying is regarded in the industry as the bible of weather flying. Robert Buck, a general aviation and commercial pilot with tens of thousands of hours of flight time, explains weather in a nontechnical way, giving pilots useful understanding of weather and practical knowledge of how to judge it and fly it. Covers weather flying psychology, en route weather changes, radar and how to use it, taking off in bad weather, and much more.
