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.

This pilot guide covers the private pilot Meteorology syllabus.

Written in layman’s terms with numerous illustrations makes it simple to understand.

Covers the American, Australian, British and the proposed European JAA Private Pilot Syllabuses on Meteorology.

Captain John Swan holds JAA and FAA Professional Pilot Licences. He learnt to fly in England and continued his training in America where he flew both aeroplanes and helicopters. He currently flies Agusta 109s and is a designated examiner for the Irish Aviation Authority. Prior to undertaking a flying career he studied Mechanical Engineering at Portsmouth Polytechnic, graduation with an Honours Degree.

Nubes Häckel, Hans Tras un examen somero y fácilmente comprensible de la física relacionada con las nubes y la clasificación internacional de las mismas, esta obra presenta las formaciones nubosas en toda su variedad y belleza. En ella se expone cómo se forman las nubes y qué tiempo anuncian, mientras que las fotografías en color ilustran la gran variedad de nubes existente: nubes aborregadas, yunques amenazantes, nubes altas de hielo y nubes bajas de lluvia, formaciones nubosas frecuentes y nubes muy raras de ver. Se explican también los fenómenos ópticos más importantes como halos, parhelios, coronas y el arco iris.

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.

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.

Covering both large- and small-scale weather systems, and illustrated with line drawings, graphs and satellite photographs throughout, this new edition of Meteorology and Flight has been fully revised and updated. Practical and comprehensive, it includes: the development of depressions and anticyclones fronts convection, cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds waves, wave flow and how to fly in waves local winds airflow over ridges and mountains visibility weather maps and forecasting METAR and TAF reports MetFAX services.
