LESSON 8

WEB ASSIGNMENT

The objective of this weeks lesson is to learn the relationship between air masses and fronts, and to know the type of weather to expect when a cold or warm front approaches you.

A flight tip: If you are considering going for a short flight and a front is approaching, fly towards the front until the weather deteriorates. Your route home will be clear. If you fly away from the approaching front, the weather may be poor at the airfield when you return.
