1)
Low Level Wind Shear
• While wind shear can occur
at any altitude, low-level wind
shear is especially hazardous
due to the proximity of an
aircraft to the ground.
• Low-level wind shear is
commonly associated with
passing frontal systems,
thunderstorms, and
temperature inversions with
strong upper level winds
(greater than 25 knots).

1)
Fog
• When a layer of warm,
moist air moves over a
cold surface, advection
fog is likely to occur.
• Unlike radiation fog,
wind is required to form
advection fog.

Clouds
• Cumulonimbus clouds
contain large amounts of
moisture and unstable air,
and usually produce
hazardous weather
phenomena, such as
lightning, hail, tornadoes,
gusty winds, and wind
shear.

Clouds
• It is impossible to fly over
thunderstorms in light
aircraft.
• A good rule of thumb is to
circumnavigate
thunderstorms identified
as severe or giving an
intense radar echo by at
least 20 nautical miles
(NM) since hail may fall for
miles outside of the
clouds.

Today’s Mission Requirements
 Mission:





Describe basic weather theory and weather principles.
Describe how weather affects daily flying activities.
Describe the theories behind weather.
Describe the Flight Service Station (FSS) weather specialist and
other aviation weather services.
EQ:
Describe the importance of Aeronautical Knowledge for the
student pilot learning to fly.
Ceiling
• For aviation purposes, a
ceiling is the lowest layer of
clouds reported as being
broken or overcast, as broken
when five-eighths to seveneighths of the sky is covered
with clouds.
• Overcast means the entire
sky is covered with clouds.
Visibility
• Visibility refers to the
greatest horizontal distance
at which prominent objects
can be viewed with the naked
eye.
• Current visibility is also
reported in METAR and other
aviation weather reports, as
well as by automated weather
systems.
Precipitation
• Precipitation refers to any
type of water particles that
form in the atmosphere and
fall to the ground.
• It has a profound impact on
flight safety.
• Precipitation can reduce
visibility, create icing
situations, and affect landing
and takeoff performance of
an aircraft.
Precipitation
• Hail can be pea sized,
or it can grow as large
as five inches in
diameter, larger than a
softball.
• Snow is precipitation
in the form of ice
crystals.
Precipitation
• Precipitation in any form
poses a threat to safety of
flight.
• Often, precipitation is
accompanied by low ceilings
and reduced visibility.
Precipitation
• Aircraft that have ice,
snow, or frost on their
surfaces must be
cleaned prior to
beginning a flight
because of the possible
airflow disruption and
loss of lift.
• Rain can contribute to
water in the fuel tanks.
Chapter Summary
• Knowledge of the atmosphere and the forces
acting within it to create weather is essential to
understand how weather affects a flight.
• By understanding basic weather theories, a pilot
can make sound decisions during flight planning
after receiving weather briefings.
