Aviation Climatology for the Professional Pilot

The weather and its associated hazards will be a major concern for pilots every time they leap into the sky. The weather conditions that a pilot faces are the by-product of air being thrown around in the atmosphere. Although the day-to-day weather will vary, overall an area will be impacted by similar weather patterns year-on-year, which make up an area's climate. A solid understanding of the underlying mechanisms that produce the world's climate will help pilots tackle any unexpected challenges they may encounter during a flight. From the author of the popular Aviation Books Series, this book takes the reader deep into the world of aviation climatology, with a particular focus on practical aviation, thereby linking science with the real world. Whether you are a new pilot who is exploring the topic in greater detail or a professional pilot who has been flying for countless years, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the many moving parts that make up the weather conditions around the world.
