Instructor
In this course, you will explore the fundamental causes of atmospheric pressure, the instruments used to measure it, and how variations in pressure shape the weather and influence flight operations.
You’ll learn about mercury and aneroid barometers, the interpretation of Mean Sea-Level Pressure charts, and how pressure gradients drive wind patterns. The lesson also covers air density—how it is affected by altitude, temperature, pressure, and humidity—and how these changes impact lift, engine performance, and density altitude calculations. By the end, you’ll have the ability to apply these concepts directly to real-world flying scenarios.
This course includes 2 modules, 5 lessons, and 2:00 hours of materials.
This module equips pilots with the knowledge to understand and predict atmospheric conditions affecting every flight.
