Aviation Meterology

To prepare for the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) subject on Aviation Meteorology, you'll need to cover a range of topics related to meteorology in the context of civil aviation. Meteorology plays a crucial role in aviation safety and decision-making. Below is a list of key areas you may need to study.

1. Basic Meteorological Concepts:
- Atmospheric layers and composition.
- Temperature, pressure, and humidity.

2. Weather Phenomena:
- Cloud types and formations.
- Precipitation (rain, snow, sleet).
- Fog and visibility.
- Thunderstorms and lightning.

3. Air Masses and Fronts:
- Different types of air masses.
- Frontal systems and their characteristics.

4. Pressure Systems:
- High and low-pressure systems.
- Isobars and pressure gradients.

5. Wind Patterns:
- Global wind patterns.
- Local wind effects.
- Jet streams.

6. Weather Charts and Maps:
- Interpretation of weather charts (surface analysis, upper-level charts).
- Use of satellite and radar imagery.

7. METAR and TAF Reports:
- Understanding METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) and TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) reports.
- Extracting relevant information for flight planning.

8. Aerodrome Weather:
- Aerodrome climatology.
- Wind shear and microbursts.
- Crosswinds and their effects on aircraft.

9. Icing and Turbulence
- Types of icing (structural and induction).
- Causes and effects of turbulence.

10. Weather Decision-Making:
- Impact of weather on flight planning and operations.
- Decision-making in adverse weather conditions.

11. Aviation Weather Services:
- Use of weather briefings and updates.
- Interaction with meteorological services.

12. Weather and Navigation:
-- Influence of weather on navigation decisions.
- Practical considerations for pilots.
