Conquering the Challenge of ATPL Theory: Meteorology

After some studying, I’m doing not too bad in Aircraft General Knowledge. My result is still not perfect, but I have scored more than 80%. I plan to continue, but it’s time to move on to a new subject. I’ve chosen Meteorology as the most challenging one for me because it mostly requires knowledge, unlike Navigation, where I can solve lots of questions by computation.

Meteorology looks like a nightmare for me now as it contains lots of information and a bunch of new terms. I had to refresh my knowledge in Geography as well. Nevertheless, it’s very interesting, and I’m happy that I can understand what happens in our atmosphere much better. Now it’s not just beautiful clouds up there but logical physical processes. Some years ago, I learned some of that information in my hang gliding course, but we did not consider high altitudes then.

I plan to dedicate about two weeks per subject. Some subjects will require more time (for example, Air Law or Meteorology), and others will need less time (for example, IFR/VFR Communications). I think it’s important to maintain my streak to get closer to my goal. Some years ago, I passed the Quantum Mechanics exam (my personal nightmare in the university), so I hope that I have no fear after that 🙂
