    Sky Watching: Clouds for Pilots

    Simon is back! In this session we discuss various clouds, fronts and tools for interpreting the weather. We're also joined by MET technical officer, Joanna Aston and our resident instructor/examiner Matt Lane.

    You may notice we slipped up on question 4 in the quiz, the question on F214 and TAF/METAR cloud heights, a great example of human factors creeping in, 4 people checked the answer and no-one spotted it... the correct answer was not listed... and is in fact:

    F215 heights are in AMSL and heights shown in TAFs and METARs are above Aerodrome level
