ATPL Meteorology

There is no shortage of meteorology books. There is a shortage of honest ones. Subject 050 is 84 questions in two hours, and it does not reward you for the parts you found interesting. Thermodynamics is four marks. Meteorological Information is sixteen. Almost nobody allocates their revision that way, because almost nothing tells them to. ATPL Meteorology is a complete revision guide and question bank for the EASA and UK CAA Airline Transport Pilot Licence theory examination, written to the 2020 Learning Objectives for Subject 050 by a working airline captain and Chief Flight Instructor. It fixes the three things that go wrong Candidates study the subject instead of the examination. This book opens with Where the marks are — a table built from the published learning objectives and the examination's own weighting. Chapter 10 is nineteen per cent of the paper. Chapter 3 is one question in twenty. Work the chapters in the order the marks are in, not the order they are printed. Candidates learn numbers nobody can source. Every chapter ends with Numbers you must own, set out in three columns: stated in the syllabus, conventional teaching, and asserted by nobody. Where a figure cannot be attributed, this book says so rather than inventing one. That third column is unusual, and it is deliberate. Candidates revise what they already know. Every chapter ends with the mistakes candidates actually make, why each one is tempting, and how to defend against it — most drawn from errors made and corrected while the book was being written. Ten chapters, numbered to the syllabus The Atmosphere, ISA and Altimetry · Wind · Thermodynamics · Clouds and Fog · Precipitation Air Masses and Fronts · Pressure Systems · Climatology · Flight Hazards · Meteorological Information Every chapter has the same shape: what it is worth and where its marks are, the mechanism, the confusable pairs, one operational scenario, the numbers you must own, the traps, then questions and answers. Once you have read one chapter you know how to read the other nine. It tests you twice, without asking the same thing twice Chapter questions cover the material that needs the apparatus in front of you — the figures, the messages, the worked traps. Everything else is reserved for the full 84-question examination paper at the back, weighted exactly as the real paper is weighted. No question appears in both. Sit it under time, then use the topic breakdown of your score rather than the total: a weak topic is a weak chapter, and the chapter that owns it is where to go. Also included: a self-check page in every chapter that asks you to commit an answer in writing, a full glossary, sources and acknowledgements set out at the back, and a complete index. What this book is not It is not a course of training and does not pretend to be. Enrolment with an Approved Training Organisation is a legal prerequisite for sitting the EASA or UK CAA ATPL(A) examinations, and nothing here replaces it. It assumes you are enrolled, that you have been taught, and that what you need now is to find the gaps and close them. It is also not a scraped question bank. It reproduces no examination questions from any bank. Every question in it was written for it, against the published objectives. Mastering ATPL, Book 1.
