Basic Aeronautical Meteorology (Aviation Weather)

Introduction

• Teaches atmospheric composition and structure, climate and synoptic weather, aviation weather reports, forecasts, and weather data sources.
• Enables the trainees to understand and appreciate the operational and strategic impacts of weather on the aviation industry.
• Requires students to apply these principles in a decision-making through weather tracking, planning and decision-making activities.

Objectives

• Demonstrate knowledge of atmospheric composition and climate.
• Explain the operational challenges associated with atmospheric stability, moisture characteristics, precipitation, pressure, altitude, and density.
• Interpret current aviation weather reports, forecasts and observations affecting aviation operational decision making.
• Describe how weather conditions affect airplane performance.
• Explain the conditions likely to result in the formation of the most common aviation weather hazards and appropriate responses to in-flight weather hazards.
