Air Pilot’s Manual Volume 2: Air Law & Meteorology by Dorothy Saul-Pooley (Paperback)

Volume 2 explores the rules and environmental factors that govern safe flight. It covers aviation law, pilot licensing requirements, airspace classifications, and regulations for UK and international operations. Each topic is explained in a clear, structured way, making complex legislation accessible to new pilots.

The book also introduces meteorology, helping students understand how weather affects flight planning and aircraft performance. Key concepts include cloud types, fronts, wind, turbulence, icing, and precipitation. Readers learn how to interpret forecasts, recognise hazardous conditions, and make safe decisions before and during flight.

Air Traffic Services, flight planning procedures, and navigational rules are explained alongside practical examples of how these affect everyday flying. Illustrations and diagrams show airspace boundaries, radio procedures, and common weather patterns. Sample questions and summaries at the end of chapters provide useful exam preparation.

By combining regulatory knowledge with meteorological insight, the volume ensures students gain a full understanding of the non‑technical aspects of flight. It emphasises how law and weather influence operational choices, giving trainees the confidence to plan and execute flights safely.
