You’ll learn how weather forms, how temperature changes with altitude, and how these variations impact aircraft performance. The module also introduces you to the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), including standard temperature, pressure, and density values, and how they are used in aviation to calculate performance, calibrate instruments, and plan flights.</p>

Atmosphere is an advanced aviation science module designed to give pilots a thorough understanding of the air that surrounds our planet and affects every flight.
