Aviators

 The greatest weather hazard is thunderstorms. At the cumulus stage, they are created when sufficient moisture and instability are present in the atmosphere. The clouds increase in vertical height and after it reaches a mature stage when rain or ice begins to fall. The dissipating stage is when the downdrafts spread out, with violent winds (FAA, 2016). A thunderstorm can extend all the way to 60,000 ft and it can create wing updrafts and wind shear, which is a rapid change in wind velocity and/or direction at a very short distance. Precipitation, visibility, and ceiling are affected by thunderstorms. Thunderstorms reduce visibility, and ceiling which are necessary for pilots to land. It can also create squall lines, tornados, turbulence, icing, hail, and engine water ingestion (FAA, 2016), risking any flight that encounters one. All this affects the go no go decision. This proves the importance of aviation weather services for students, private, and professional pilots so they can ...

 Air traffic control are park the pilots crew resource management (CRM), they are an available resource for the crew to conduct a safe and efficient operation.  All air traffic control entities provide radar service to separate between IFR and VFR operations, and other more specific services. Terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facilities manage the airspace surrounding closer to most airports. They handle departing and approaching aircraft within its space. On IFR conditions this extremally neccesary to have guidance and separation from other traffic when getting closer to the airport. They provide heading, speed and altitude neccesary to align the pilot with the runway in use. Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) manage traffic in the route airspace,  provides reroutes, delays, ground stops, traffic flow, weather, and emergency assistance (FAA, 2022).  All entities are equally important but not as neccesary as others. When pilots are flying to a nontower...
