This book synthesizes the meteorological knowledge required by the European EASA Part-FCL regulations for future pilots. It’s clear and concise wording allows an easy and practical handling by the reader.

The abundance of graphs, schemes, illustrations and diagrams, as well as photographs and images of remote sensing and meteorological maps provided by the INM, support and complement the text and makes easier its comprehension.

Written by Blanca González López, Licentiate in Physical Sciences and predictive analyst of the National Center of Prediction of the State Agency of Meteorology.

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.

In this guide, Hans Häckel presents in an attractive and practical way an essential subject of vital importance for a pilot's ability. It is an indispensable cloud identification guide for those interested in meteorology.

It studies the physics related to clouds as well as their international classification, deepening their formation process and relating it to the meteorological information they transmit.

Full color photographs, graphs and tables make this guide a valuable learning material.

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.

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, 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.

At last a pilot guide on Human Performance and Limitations that is:

Simple to understand being written in layman’s terms, keeping the jargon to a minimum.

Covering the JAA private pilots syllabus on Human Performance and Limitations.

Pertinent to the student through professional pilot. Although primarily aimed at pilots, other aviation personnel will find this guide a useful introduction to this relatively new field of aviation.

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.

Required reading for every pilot, this resource identifies different icing types -- including new phenomena such as supercolled drizzle droplets. Covers both ground and airborne icing for VFR and IFR pilots in high- and low-level operations.
