To get access to MetFlight GA you need to enter your: Username and Password …
Username:
The first input field in the logon process (Username) is the pilot licence number for CAA Licensed (Part 61) pilots, or the membership or flying certificate number for those people who are a member of a Part 149 Aviation Recreation Organisation.
Note: For the Part 149 Aviation Recreation Organisation members, a prefix is needed in front of the membership number (usually the first letter(s) of the name of the organisation) to avoid confusion between membership numbers of different Part 149 organisations. No prefix is required for CAA Part 61 pilot licence numbers.
Password:
The second field in the logon process (Password) for CAA Part 61 pilots is the INITIAL GRANT DATE of their license (lower right side of license) as set out on the reverse side of the license, but input in the form d/mm/yyyy – ie; with NO leading zero on the day but WITH a leading zero on the month (eg; 5/12/2003 or 21/01/1991).
Do not forget the ‘/’ in the password as shown in the previous example.
Condensation is water vapour condensing back the liquid water.
Visibility is greatly reduced due to cloud, Mist, fog etc.
Plus releases heat and warm the air and this is the start to all weather on earth.
Condensation in a warn environment,
Warm environment is Air mass moving over New Zealand from north or Warm Fronts etc.
A warm air in a warm environment means not much movement or stable conditions.
Cloud that is formed tends to be Stratus / layer re type clouds.
Any rain will be widespread drizzle
Condensation in a cold environment,
However warm air in a cold environment is a completely different ballgame
The warm air created by condensation will tend to rise rapidly creating towering type clouds which can grow into thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail, lightning, etc…
Enough towering Cumulus type clouds can create a low pressure area on the Earth’s surface this pressure change causes the wind to flow.
And these low pressure areas can grow into spinning cyclone / storm.
Welcome to the vital realm of “Transceivers” in your pilot theory training. Aspiring pilots, this module is more than just technicalities; it’s about ensuring your safety and the comfort of your passengers. Here’s why delving into transceivers is crucial:
