About This Course

Introduction

Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and weather. Aviation is unthinkable without a thorough understanding of meteorology. Flying is an inherently hazardous activity, and the history of aviation is marked by numerous accidents and incidents. With technological advancement, design flaws and material failures have reduced significantly. However, two major factors that lead to accidents and incidents in aviation remain beyond our control - the human factor and weather. Weather plays a critical role in safe flight operations. Conditions such as poor visibility, rain, snow, thunderstorms, icing, crosswinds, cloud cover, turbulence, and wind shear can severely compromise flight safety. At times, extreme weather may lead to a complete suspension of flying operations or force a pilot to divert to an alternate aerodrome. A sound knowledge of meteorology and its impact on aviation equips you to make timely, informed, and safe decisions in flight. Sqilah Advanced Learnings has specially designed this course for aspirants preparing for careers as Pilots, Navigators, Flight Operations Officers, Flight Dispatchers, and Air Traffic Controllers. As an e-learning program, it offers complete flexibility to study anytime, from anywhere, at your own convenience..

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course you should be able to:
  • Analyse atmospheric data, assess weather-related flight hazards, and make sound decisions that ensure safety
  • Comply with regulations on weather systems as per the CAA / ICAO.
  • Describe how temperature, pressure, density, and humidity change with altitude and affect the environment.
  • Correctly use altimeter settings (QNH and QFE) to calculate true and density altitudes and maintain terrain clearance.
  • Identify high and low-pressure systems, air masses, and frontal boundaries to predict local and regional weather.
  • Explain conditions required for ice formation and select appropriate anti-icing or de-icing protocols.
  • Evaluate turbulence and wind shear.
  • Recognize triggers for clear air turbulence (CAT), mountain waves, and microbursts, and determine avoidance strategies.
  • Assess the lifecycle and dangers of thunderstorms and Cumulonimbus (CB) clouds to plan detours or ground holds.
  • Decode reports: Accurately read and interpret routine weather reports like METARs and TAFs.
  • Interpret surface analysis charts, significant weather prognostic charts, and radar/satellite imagery.
  • Process localized alerts including SIGMETs, AIRMETs, and NOTAMs for route safety.
  • Calculate how high temperatures, high humidity, and pressure variations reduce engine output and increase takeoff or landing distances.
  • Use weather trends to select safe flight levels, alternate airports, and required contingency fuel reserves.
  • Apply shared meteorological criteria for pre-flight dispatch sign-offs and in-flight re-routing or diversion decisions
