Gain real-world meteorological knowledge and flight planning skills that every pilot needs to fly safely and confidently. This immersive one-day course is designed for aspiring aviators aged 11–17 who want to understand how weather affects flying and how to plan flights with safety and accuracy in mind.

 

Students will explore the structure of the atmosphere, pressure systems, and cloud development, with a specific focus on the air masses and weather patterns typically seen in the UK.

 

You’ll learn how to analyse real aviation weather charts and forecasts, and how to make accurate 48-hour predictions using professional tools available to every pilot. Most importantly, you'll leave with the ability to apply this knowledge every single day—whether you’re preparing for a flight or just forecasting from your own home.

 

Using a mix of classroom instruction, group exercises, and Flight simulator-based training, students will see the theory in action and develop genuine forecasting confidence. This course builds core understanding from the PPL Meteorology syllabus and translates it into practical planning and decision-making for VFR flight.

 

Step into the pilot’s seat and learn how real-world aviators plan and navigate their flights across the UK skies. Our Metreology and Flight Forecasting  Day Course is designed for aspiring aviators aged 11–17 who are ready to take their flying knowledge to the next level using official UK CAA methods and tools.
