Description

Weather affects every aspect of Aviation—from flight planning and takeoff to passenger comfort and safety. This course provides an in-depth understanding of Meteorology and its direct relevance to Aviation, with special attention to the operational needs of Airport Management and Flight Attendant professionals.

Starting with the basics of Meteorology, learners will study:

  • Weather systems and atmospheric pressure

  • Fronts, clouds, and precipitation types

  • Thunderstorms, turbulence, and wind shear

  • Visibility, fog, and icing conditions

  • Forecasting methods and reading aviation weather charts

You’ll learn how Meteorology influences Aviation decision-making, flight delays, and emergency procedures. The course also emphasizes the importance of Meteorology for Airport Management tasks like runway operations, ground crew scheduling, and traffic flow coordination. Additionally, you'll explore how Flight Attendant responsibilities are impacted by turbulence alerts, passenger communication, and in-flight safety protocols, all of which rely on accurate Meteorology.

Each module connects Meteorology theory to practical Aviation scenarios, preparing you for the realities of working in Airport Management and Flight Attendant environments. From flight planning to gate operations and passenger briefings, Meteorology knowledge is a critical asset for professionals across the Aviation spectrum.
