Subject feedback
Common errors which we noted were:
- Stability and how it affects the weather
- Winds, backing, veering and wind shear
- Air masses and fronts
- Inversions, fog and mist
- Thunderstorms and microbursts
- Decoding of forecasts, in particular TAFs and TTFs where there are periods such as INTER, TEMPO or FM included.
- Area and aerodrome forecasts – It would appear that some candidates could have been misapplying the appropriate UTC time to the given flight scenario.
- Aerodrome Forecasts – Where both TTF and TAF have been issued for an aerodrome, it would appear that some candidates appear not to understand which applies.
