Mastering The Skew-T Diagram
With The Skew-T Diagram, You Can Predict:
- Where will the cloud tops be along your entire route?
- What will the conditions be above the cloud tops?
- Where will the cloud bases be on both stratus and convective days?
- Will cumulus clouds stay benign or become thunderstorms?
- Where will you find the smoothest ride—and what altitudes should you avoid?
- When will fog be unlikely even though the temperature and dewpoint are equal?
- When do benign looking stratocumulus clouds have potential for copious icing?
- What is the key temperature for assessing the icing risk near a cloud top?
An Online Weather Tool Like No Other
Many pilots have heard of the Skew-T log (p) diagram. Some even know a trick or two for using it. But few have learned to master its full power.
For most pilots, it’s a real game-changer. The Skew-T diagram is one of the best kept secrets in aviation and one of the most versatile power tools in the pilot’s preflight planning toolbox.
Sure, there are plenty of tools and forecasts to give you a general picture of weather for your flight. But the Skew-T lets you drill down on specific places and altitudes like no other tool to predict cloud bases, cloud tops, cloud layers, turbulence, icing, and thunderstorms with greater precision and accuracy.
For a pilot, learning to read the clues in a Skew-T is akin to being a musician who played by ear before learning to read music.
