Pilots can encounter a range of hazardous weather conditions each time they conduct a flight; from icing, which can turn an aircraft into an ice block in a matter of minutes, to large hailstones that can come crashing through the windscreen. However, some of the most dangerous weather conditions are those that are difficult to detect, such as strong and shifting winds when the aircraft is trying to land. Pilots need to apply their knowledge of aviation meteorology to tackle the many weather-related challenges they may come across.  

 

From the author of the hugely popular Aviation Weather for the Private Pilot, this book takes the reader deeper into the world of meteorology. This book follows closely the syllabi of Meteorology for the Commercial Pilot from a range of aviation authorities around the world. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, thereby linking science with the real world.
