Meteorology
Meteorology teaches the interpretation of weather phenomena and reports relevant to safe VFR flight. It is knowledge a pilot uses before every flight.
Topics
METAR and TAF reports
METAR and TAF are standard reports describing current and forecast airport weather. A pilot must read them and judge their effect on the planned flight.
Clouds and fronts
Cloud types and moving weather fronts signal changes in the weather. Recognising them helps anticipate conditions en route.
