Book that gathers theoretical knowledge for the obtaining of the License of Private Pilot, in the matter of METEREOLOGY.

This second edition, totally updated, is supervised and verified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and its author, Joaquín C. Adsuar, develops the official syllabus of the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR).

This manual includes all those comments or questions that, in the opinion of the author, could contribute to the fundamental objective not to move from the opportune learning to the simple passing of a test.

This book breaks new ground in the presentation of what is and should be presented as a fascinating and vitally important part of a pilot's skill. Gone are the dreary old monotone drawings of isobars and fronts, endless graphs and reams of figures and in bounce full colour photos of what you actually see - clouds and cloudscapes that tell you instantly what's happening to the air around you.

For those who fly aircraft and micros, gliders or kites this book makes the weather make sense.

The content of the book deals comprehensively with all the topics likely to come up in the PPL exams, and more importantly tries, and succeeds, to weld them together into a coherent and useful whole.

Aviation takes place in the atmospheric environment, a four-dimensional medium, with the sky's landscape changing as time goes by. Meteorology observes and measures the atmosphere; the main purpose of meteorology is to anticipate atmospheric change. So there is a natural connection between the meteorologist and those who design and operate aircraft like engineers, pilots, air traffic controllers.

Weather plays an integral role in the outcome of any flight, so it's important to make sure you understand the fundamentals of weather with Jeppesen EASA ATPL - Meteorology. In the subject Meteorology the pilot receives the necessary knowledge on the topic of weather and climate. Starting from the basics, up to the flight weather briefing, all learning contents are explained step by step. All topics, such as the structure of the atmosphere, the formation of pressure systems and fronts, cloud shapes and meteorological hazards, are adequately supplemented by detailed graphics, charts, and videos. Thus, complex knowledge is self taught and learned in just a short time. Always up to date, printed on demand and using QR codes to provide animated graphics, this book presents this knowledge step-by-step.

This book, Number 9 in the series of 14, entitled Meteorology, comprehensively covers the EASA ATPL syllabus and Learning Objectives for this subject and also includes specimen revision and test questions and answers.

It aims at imparting a better understanding of all aspects of meteorology, as it applies to flight operations. Such knowledge is essential to a pilot’s understanding of how weather-related in-flight hazards arise and how they should be predicted, avoided and dealt with.
