This report details the percent frequency of occurrence of the adverse weather testing criteria (as outlined in AFFTC-TIH-88-004) for five airfields: Keflavik, Iceland; Goose Bay, Canada; Bodo, Norway; Volk Field, WI; and Dover AFB, DE. The data assists selection of a single location best suited, climatologically, to perform flight testing. Criteria tested and weather conditions evaluated include artificial and natural in-flight icing and rain; wet, slushy, and icy runway/taxiway performance and handling qualities; freezing rain exposure; engine water ingestion on the ground and in-flight; evaluation of instrument flight rules (IFR) capability; evaluation of the effects of corrosive atmospheric pollutants; and turbulent flight evaluation. Numerous tables and graphs an used to demonstrate the percent frequency differences of the adverse weather conditions between the five locations....
