Aviation Meteorology: Airport Weather course is aviation and airline related course where you will learn to read and interpret airport weather information. My intention is that you understand the practical usage of weather for aviation and learn how it can impact airline operations and aircraft performance. The course is built from Airline Operations and Dispatch perspective based on my own more than 10 years’ experience in this field.

The structure of the course is following:
