  7. II. After you cover the text draw the map and summarize all information.

To avoid hazardous flight conditions, pilot must have a fundamental knowledge of the atmosphere and weather behaviour. Air masses do not always perform as predicted, and weather stations are sometimes spaced rather widely apart; therefore, the pilot must understand weather conditions occurring between the stations as well as the conditions different from those indicated by weather reports.

Moreover, the meteorologist can only predict the weather conditions; the pilot must decide whether his particular flight may be hazardous one, considering his type of aircraft and equipment, his own flying ability, experience, and physical limitations.

The pilot should have a general background of weather knowledge plus the following basic information:

1) Sources of weather information available to the pilot.

2) Special knowledge the pilot needs in order to understand the weather terms commonly used.

3) Interpretation of weather maps, flying-weather forecast and other data.

4) Conditions of clouds, wind and weather that are merely inconvenient, those that are dangerous, and those that the pilot can use to advantage.

5) Methods for avoiding dangerous conditions.

7. Which of these remarks are true? Correct the false ones.

a) Air masses always perform as predicted.

b) The pilot must understand weather conditions occurring between the stations as well as the conditions different from those indicated by weather reports.

c) The meteorologist cannot predict the weather conditions.

d) The pilot shouldn’t have weather knowledge.
