Weather BASICS explained (EASY to Understand) PPL Lesson 39

This is what you need to know about weather as a private pilot! In this video, I explain the basic concept of weather and how it applies to pilots. In this video, I explain stability, fronts, Coriolis effect, and a bunch of other stuff you might see on your written exam! This is Private Pilot Ground lesson 39! This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

This was the BEST video on WX I’ve ever seen, it’s a 2 hour presentation in 20 minutes! I’ll watch this before every checkride, thank you!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate that!

[@yankeledpilot3191]

I second this.

[@jwright7713]

Agreed. This was more informative and digestible than my entire weather lecture in ground school!

[@jeffreystewart9809]

I was an aviation weather forecaster for the US Air Force for 8 years. Can confirm that this is an absolutely excellent explanation. Wish I'd had this years ago. 😅

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks man! That means a lot!

[@imanolsaldana9187]

Ah yess if only they’d have helpful videos like this at the wx school house at Keesler.

[@Slimothy]

*I am not a pilot nor a meteorologist, but this video made perfect sense. Well done. Fantastic.*

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks! That means a lot!

[@peterparas9152]

I've been flying for 25 years. One of the best short videos on weather I've seen!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Peter! That means a lot

[@kristianyearwood9022]

As a PPL student, I've watched a ton of weather videos, but this one takes the cake! It's hands down the best video I've come across for the PPL level, and it's really helped me out. In just 30 minutes, it condensed the five x two-hour metrology classes we had into one concise and easy-to-understand 30-minute video. It is a total game-changer!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@spelunkerd]

Gee, in less than 30 minutes you summarized my entire course in meteorology. Brilliant! I had a few gaps of knowledge, for example the occluded front vs stationary front, that weren't well covered before. It is simpler than I imagined, I was just missing a few fundamentals. It's too bad weather news has degenerated into people reading the weather report with no idea what it means.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! I’m so glad you found this helpful! I’ve got to make things as simple as possible, otherwise I won’t understand it either lol

[@millandianne]

Yes he did I like how breaks down my lessons from hours. To sample

[@jerryjerry2702]

I am currently in my CFI training and honestly never liked weather through all my training. This is by far the best explanation that breaks it down so easily that I find it fun to watch. Now I’m motivated to even learn a lot more where weather is concerned. Thank you for taking the time out to Give this great easy to understand explanation.

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you got value out of this video. It’s funny, I’m kinda dumb so I have to make things as simple as possible in order to teach them and I have found that I still learn a lot in the process of making these videos. Thank you so much for watching! I’ll see you in the next one!

[@karlsandin4515]

same here , can't believe how little I actually know.. time to learn

[@berwinmiller3823]

Your videos are by far the most informative that I have seen anywhere. Thanks so much for making it soooo easy to understand and use.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you! I really appreciate that! You’re welcome!

[@nvdubs]

Thanks so much for this page. Because of this page, I passed my checkride today! I went though the Kings course and it really didn’t help me with alot of the complicated stuff. These videos are much more helpful than any of the reading or other videos I watched. I always instantly looked for videos from this page when I needed help with a topic and they were here! Keep up the good work buddy. It’s really rewarding to see other pilots in here taking advantage of this page and succeeding too. I definitely plan to use this as a additional resource someday for students I may have

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad I could help! Congrats on passing! Huge accomplishment!

[@ryanlive819]

Second this!

[@Paul-yh4ie]

I have been following this channel for a couple of years, and I have watched this weather video while preparing for the Private written test, preparing for stage checks, and now preparing for the Private Checkride. I HIGHLY recommend the content that the USAF officer is making available to the aviation community.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Paul! That means a lot!

[@TheLeadershipCo]

I have been searching high and low (no pun intended) trying to get a good explanation of weather. THIS IS IT! Your explanation of weather is clear, concise and comprehensible. And you are even fun to listen to to boot! Thank you!!!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! I’m so glad I could help! Thank you!

[@AnkitPatel-di3md]

One of the best video I have ever seen. I can not thank you enough for this simplest explanation.

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome! Thank you so much for the compliment

[@xpeterson]

ATP pilot checking in, was looking for refreshers and happened upon your video. Great job!

[@muhammadjafari]

This was amazing. Thank you, great content. I feel like i finally understand weather concepts on a deeper level.

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@LIVdaBrand]

Meteorologist here. A great basic weather tutorial. I always have great conversations about METARs, and other weather phenomena (like Coriolis, Hadley Cell, orographic lifting, types of clouds, microbursts, etc) when I come across pilots, marine people, etc. Remember: in high pressure situations, the air is sinking so because it is moving to higher pressure near the surface, it generally heats up. Imagine going from a room with a few people to full of people (high pressure-->lots of molecules)--it will feel warmer. In low pressure situations, warmer air at the surface rises and cools--and droplets form. The cool thing about #weather is that you can simulate this in normal everyday situations. For example: Put a warm coke can in the fridge and after a few minutes, you'll see the water vapor on the outside (#condensation ). Condensation is a heating process for the environment-->in the case of the coke, the heat from the warm coke is moving to the outside environment creating the droplets on the outside (heating the air around it). To the contrary, #evaporation is a cooling process for the environment--like when you get out of the shower and you feel cold (#evaporativeCooling ) Enjoy the lessons!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! It’s cool to hear from a real meteorologist

[@excellenceinanimation960]

This is a great video! I had a college course in weather and this video is literally the same stuff just condensed. As a pilot wannabe these types of videos explaining the basics in very simple ways is a blessing! A lot of other videos on the internet used jargon and just assume you know a lot of the material. Your contents amazing please keep it up!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thank you so much! Will do!

Thanks a million for that video. Learning weather is like learning a New language in my mind. It definitely doesn’t come natural to me so therefore I get frustrated. How you broke this video down was so user friendly. I can’t thank you enough!!!

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome Colin! Thanks for commenting and letting me know that it helped you. I just had a buddy who watched it just before his checkride and was surprised how much it helped in the oral. I don’t hear a lot about weather questions on the oral, so that was a pretty good surprise. Thanks again for watching and I’ll see you in the next one!
