telecharger

This self-teach, interactive, computer-based-training, developed by Oxford Aviation Training and the Met Office, is a course of both theoretical and practical Meteorology for pilots of all levels up to ATPL, whether student or qualified. The main aim of this CBT is to give pilot-oriented training in Aviation Met theory and to teach pilots to use this theory to interpret met forecasts and reports in order to plan safe and expeditious flying sorties. The secondary aim of the CBT is to teach pilots how to extract and interpret met information from the Met Office's web site.The CD-ROM is divided in three parts: Part 1 - This section covers the requirements of the JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge syllabus for Meteorology and much more besides. Emphasis is placed on the practical significance of meteorological phenomena for pilots. The self-assessment tests, with feedback, are available both in the form of general tests and tests in JAA and FAA formats. As the theory course is designed for beginners it is suitable for CPL and PPL pilots, too. Part 2 - This section contains instruction on types of forecast available to pilots and interpretation of forecasts for flight planning purposes.
METARs, TAFs, spot wind charts, significant weather charts, etc. In the case of METARs and TAFs, there are seperate lessons covering both the JAA and FAA conventions. Part 3 - Teaches pilots how best to access and use the Met Office weather information published on its official website.
