This new edition of the well established and highly regarded 'Meteorology for Pilots' has been completely updated to satisfy all aspects of the meteorological requirements necessary to be JAR compliant and provides the ideal background study material for candidates working towards the JAA and Airline Transport Licence examinations.
It discusses the latest data concerning global warming and its consequences, especially in relation to the El Nino effect. For aviation, the study of meteorlogy provides knowledge and awareness of the atmosphere, which is after all, the medium in which a pilot works. A proper study of the subject will provide the basis that can enable a pilot to appreciate properly the weather forecast given to him for a flight - and indeed to forecast for himself. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs
