Pilots must master advanced avionics, navigate challenging weather conditions, and ensure passenger safety at all times. From managing autopilot systems to understanding weather radar, mastering these skills is crucial for ensuring passenger safety and efficient flight operations. At Leopard Aviation, we prioritize hands-on learning.

A representative of Austrian Airlines said on Austrian television that the thunderstorm cell was not visible on the aircraft’s weather radar. The limitations of weather radar came up in the discussion about the extreme turbulence suffered by Singapore Airlines flight SQ321. A high psychological strain for the crew.

While many believe that down-pull blinds are simply more susceptible to turbulence or heavy landings, making them more likely to simply drop down, there is an even more logical explanation than this. This again is a safety feature, but one which has traditionally been misinterpreted.

Their radar weather map showed heavy rain storms, and the crew selected a route round the worst areas, marked in red on the map. But the map showed only the nearest weather, and they encountered heavy rain, hail and turbulence. They were having fun, showing passengers their new, modern, flight deck, which was allowed then.

They’re routinely reviewing pilot reports and asking Air Traffic Control (ATC) for reports of turbulence, and they’ll go so far as to change their route of flight or altitude fairly dramatically to find smooth air. Strong winds by themselves don’t necessarily mean turbulence, but gusty winds almost always do.

Summer weather wreaks havoc on the entire system. Each jet flies multiple flights each day so if there is rough weather anywhere on its scheduled routing, the cascade of delays begin. The airlines cannot forecast weather months in advance so they do the best they can for efficiency. Turbulence. Pay extra to go direct.

This year, a promising weather forecast featuring high freezing levels (expected to be 9,000+ feet) led to a decision to fly myself. The day before departure, satisfied that days of consistent weather forecasts reasonably assured a successful flight, I cancelled the rental car reservation. So that was of no help to me.
