Looking at the turbulance on the low level chart and am not sure on the turbulance info. I understand the symbols for the severity but not sure the range or altitude for the forcasted turbulance. For example an area may show the symbol moderate turbulance then "180/". Does this mean that the turbulance is from surface to 18,000 or from 18,000 up. My guess would be surface up but not 100% sure.

Thanks

Cough... Choke...

Levels come in 2K increments. You can pick the levels you are interested in.

Here is a link to what I'm refering to
http://aviationweather.gov/data/product ... cl_new.gif

Figures indicate the top and base of the turbulence. Basically from the surface to what ever it says in the chart your referring to.

That is a good site Gary...

Page 11-5 of the Aviation Weather Surfaces Handbook by FAA. Also see 11-8 for subtleties of the High Level chart.

All the FAA publications are great in my opinion. Good color and diagrams. Nice to have in the bookshelf.

Your example is surface to 180.
I'm with gump, why check the weather? we're going anyway.

Thanks Gary..plan on flying today, we'll see how the map is in relation to what I find when I head up north. Kinda thought with the approaching snow storm there might be some turb.

Hey Ernie
From the sounds of your dreams, your turbulence may start be for you even get up(pun intended)

Have a great day
