EASA PPL subject 050 — understanding and reading aviation weather
Meteorology (050) surprises many students: the subject goes much deeper than "recognising clouds". You learn pressure systems, frontal weather systems, dangerous phenomena (icing, turbulence, wind shear) and how to read METARs, TAFs and weather satellite imagery.
Topics covered
Read a METAR and TAF from a Dutch or Belgian airport every day.
Make flashcards of cloud types with altitude and associated hazards.
Icing and wind shear are exam favourites: know causes and solutions.
Link theory to real flights: ask your flight instructor to explain the weather.
