Pilot Weather Course

It is a requirement that pilot's check the weather before a flight to ensure the flight can be made safely. This course will explain the things that pilots are looking for which could endanger flight. A pilot as part of training will have to learn Meteorology and pass an exam. It is a very interesting subject in itself.  Certain clouds are dangerous to fly in. I will explain it all and what happens when fronts approach etc. I explain some of the mysteries  like windshear, turbulence and Jet Streams what they are how they are caused. Hopefully you will get some idea. to help you enjoy yourself. I will try not to frighten you too much. I will condense the course as much as possible to give you the basics. Hopefully when you go out you will now see what I am talking about. you will know why the weather is doing what it is and what it will do shortly. You will know what the pilots above you are thinking and doing about it.
