About Aviation Meteorology
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This unit collects material on the weather a pilot needs to understand. The quizzes work through fog, icing, temperature and humidity, visibility, precipitation, wind and weather reports. Several are written in the style of airline pilot theory exams, and the page mentions EASA ATPL and FAA private pilot material.
The flashcard decks follow a typical meteorology course. Titles include The Atmosphere, Upper Winds and Jet Streams, Turbulence and Windshear, Clouds, Icing and Anticyclones. Others cover METAR, TAF, AWOS, ASOS and ATIS.
Where to start
Begin with the basics. Open the flashcard deck 1. The Atmosphere and the ICAO ISA deck, then take the quiz 02. Lesson Temperature and humidity. This gives you the vocabulary that later topics rely on.
Next, move to the hazards. Try the quiz 14. Icing, then the 04. Visibility quiz, which asks about fog formation. After that, the 05. METEO INFO quiz is a good way to practice reading reports, including when a report may be shortened to CAVOK.
Using quizzes and maps together
The page has a small set of mind maps, such as Formation of a Thunderstorm, COMPOSITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE and Aviation Weather. Read a map first to see how the ideas connect. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which questions you missed. Return to the map or the matching flashcard deck for those points only.
Exam-style practice
Once the topics feel familiar, try ATPL THEORY - METEOROLOGY (1) and ATPL THEORY - METEOROLOGY (2). They include questions on the tropopause, pressure levels and constant pressure charts. The numbered METEO. EXAM. PREP. quizzes give you many more questions to work through in sequence. Teachers can use any of these sets as ready-made homework or class review.
Where this unit sits
Aviation Meteorology belongs to the Navigation and Meteorology strand of the Aviation subject. Pick one topic today, take its quiz, and then make your own flashcards for the questions that surprised you.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I try first?
Start with 02. Lesson Temperature and humidity, because temperature and moisture underpin fog, cloud and icing. Then take 14. Icing and 04. Visibility. When you want exam-style questions, move on to ATPL THEORY - METEOROLOGY (1) and its second part.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are only a few mind maps. They include Formation of a Thunderstorm, COMPOSITION OF THE ATMOSPHERE, Weather Forecast, WEATHER EVENTS and Aviation Weather. They suit a first overview of a topic, before you take a quiz or work through a flashcard deck.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention ATPL, EASA ATPL, FAA and FAA private pilot material. Most are aimed at professional candidates, with a small share suited to university students. Check each quiz's questions to see whether the style matches your own syllabus.
Where can I find flashcards on weather reports?
Look for the decks METAR, Criteria Triggering Special WX Observation and AWOS/ASOS/ATIS/METAR&TAF. Chapter 9 - Weather Services, Reports, and Forecasts is also here. Pair them with the 05. METEO INFO quiz to test what you remember.
What if I can't find my topic?
Scan the flashcard deck titles first, since they follow a full course from the atmosphere to climatology. If your topic is still missing, you can make your own quiz, mind map or flashcards, or use a nearby resource as a starting point.
