The Role of Weather Station
«Even the birds aren’t flying today» is an old saying used to indicate that the
weather for flying is extremely bad. And for man nothing has a greater effect on
flying than the weather. And because of its changing so quickly and without warning
an extensive network of weather stations has been established for helping the pilots
get all the information about weather. Before flying pilots may get current
information on changing conditions along their rout or at their destination. The
weather reporting system helps overcoming many difficulties in flying. In winter,
e.g., icing can cause the reduction of lift efficiency of airplane by changing the flow
of air. Pilot’s being informed about the weather allows him to avoid weather
problems. The weather being too bad, pilots just stay on the ground like any wise
bird.
