Pilots can encounter a range of hazardous weather conditions each time they conduct a flight; from icing, which can turn an aircraft into an ice block in a matter of minutes, to large hailstones that can come crashing through the windscreen. However, some of the most dangerous weather conditions are those that are difficult to detect, such as strong and shifting winds when the aircraft is trying to land. Pilots need to apply their knowledge of aviation meteorology to tackle the many weather-related challenges they may come across.

From the author of the popular Aviation Books Series, this book takes the reader deep into the world of meteorology, 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 understand the wide range of meteorological factors that can influence your ability to fly an aircraft safely.
