The Pocket Weather Forecaster' is a handy, pocket sized book for anyone who needs to understands clouds and what weather may be forthcoming from that type of cloud. It is therefore an indispensible reference tool for all pilot's.
Synopsis
Have you ever seen a cloud formation and wondered what weather it will bring? So many day to day activities are influenced by the weather that the forecast is critical in deciding whether to take part. This non-scientific, easily accessible book is for all those with an interest in the weather, and for whom making a more informed weather decision will enhance day-to-day pleasures. Pilots, sailors, walkers, gardeners, golfers, anglers and many others will enjoy this book.
"...an excellent pictorial guide to the use of clouds in predicting the weather, the best of its kind." Huw Lloyd-Hughes.
This aviation manual stresses the importance of understanding and gleaning the most from weather and air traffic control (ATC) systems. Pilots are guided through common misconceptions about weather dangers with solid advice and accurate examples for improvement. The effects of wind and storms and the role of the ATC are discussed, and a basic weather course is provided. The most frequent decisions pilots make when they are caught in weather are explained, and all options are presented so that pilots can find their way out of undesirable conditions.

ATPL Training Manual 9: Meteorology, comprehensively covers the JAR-FCL 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.
Oxford Aviation Training and the Met Office have developed a self-teach, media-rich, interactive ATPL Meteorology Computer Based Training (CBT) course of theoretical and practical Meteorology aimed at both student and qualified pilots. Instruction is up to JAA ATPL level, but as the course is designed for beginners it is suitable for CPL and PPL pilots, too.
The main aim of this Computer Based Training is to give pilot-oriented training in Aviation Met theory and to teach pilots to use this theory to interpret met forecasts and reports in order to plan safe and expeditious flying sorties. The secondary aim of the CBT is to teach pilots how to extract and interpret met information from the Met Office's web site.
The study of Meteorology is a fundamental part of any pilot training programme. A thorough understanding of weather theory, and the ability to interpret weather-briefing documents, are absolutely essential to all pilots, not just to prepare them to pass their theoretical knowledge examinations, but also to ensure that, throughout their flying careers, they can make informed and accurate decisions about how prevailing or forecast weather conditions will affect flying operations.
Above all, a full understanding of how the weather influences aircraft operations is crucial to Flight Safety.
This book on Meteorology from Oxford Aviation Training will enable pilots to learn all they need to know about the weather, in order to fly safely and expeditiously, either locally or en-route.
Weather is the national obsession, but what causes the weather and how does it work? The Weather Whys DVD explains the fascinating world of weather to beginners and experts alike. It is an ideal tool/present for pilots, sailors, farmers, anglers, walkers and anyone with an interest in the great outdoors.
There are 35 short videos, each lasting around 2 to 5 minutes explaining how the weather works. In clear, concise terms without reference to complex equations. In total the DVD contains over 2-hours of material.
Topics covered include identifying clouds, frontal systems, high and low pressure, understanding weather charts, air masses, winds and fog, plus much more! See below a full list of topics covered.
Written and produced by WeatherOnline forecaster Dr. Simon Keeling, Weather Whys takes the viewer from the basics of the atmosphere through to understanding weather charts and on to having a go at DIY forecasting.
