CALLBACK
*****************************************************
From NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System
Issue 358
October 2009
The ASRS Weather Hit Parade
It will come as no surprise to users of the ASRS Data Base Online that many ASRS incident reports contain descriptive references to weather—rain, freezing rain, thunderstorms, frost, snow, ice, hurricanes, tornados, lightning, dust storms, wind, microbursts, and hail—not to mention unlimited ceilings and visibility. But did you realize that hundreds of pop song titles also use weather words to good effect?

Safe and proficient pilots generally manage these events quite well.
