PPGS Lesson 11.4 | Weather: Wind

Описание: Welcome back to Epic Flight Academy’s Private Pilot Ground School!
In this Weather lesson, Certified Flight Instructor Mike Thompson explains what wind is and how it forms.

You’ll learn how high and low pressure systems interact to create air movement and how three major forces: the Pressure Gradient Force (PGF), Coriolis Force, and friction shape wind direction and speed. Mike breaks down how isobars represent pressure differences on charts and demonstrates how these forces work together at various altitudes.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand not only what causes wind but also why it behaves differently near the surface compared to higher in the atmosphere, a critical concept for all pilots planning flights in changing weather conditions.

This course is taught by Epic Flight Academy's own Mike Thompson. Mike Thompson is the author of "Telling Is Not Teaching", which promotes the idea that the “new school” of teaching that embraces electronic technology cannot sacrifice the “old school” of human relationships because the human brain stills learns in largely the same way that it has for millennia.
