For many Canadian Forces meteorology courses, this companion Workbook can be used to reinforce concepts taught in a classroom setting. It has been produced to enable students to verify their comprehension of the matter contained within the Manual and encourages a greater degree of independent study.

For those who have already completed courses in meteorology, the RCAF Weather Manual Workbook will also help aviators remain current on the subject.

The Canadian Instrument Rating Workbook has been a well-respected resource for over 20 years, developed to accompany AeroCourse ground school seminars. The workbook embodies the lessons learned from training thousands of pilots for their INRAT exams and is used for both self-study and part of recognized IFR ground school training. It leads the student logically through the steps required to carry-out an IFR flight. It combines practical and theoretical questions and does not try to teach answers but provide a solid background of knowledge so the student can arrive at the correct solution to the question. The Canadian Instrument Rating Workbook has 6 sections – Met Theory, Practical Met, Flight Planning and IFR Procedures, Radio Aids, Air Regulations & Airspace, and Flight Operations. The 10th edition workbook includes an updated Flight Planning section with new Canada Air Pilot charts and recent changes to GNSS charting. The overall number of questions has been increased to hone your exam writing skills. The workbook references the Aviation& Meteorology: Weather Fundamentals 2nd edition, CAP General and A.I.M.

"Aviation and Meteorology: Weather Fundamentals" is written to provide pilots with a meteorology book from their perspective. This book provides this unique viewpoint, supplying the critical information a pilot needs to understand, and to avoid the many hazards weather can present to us. Understanding weather is critical for anyone entering into the realm of flight; this manual provides the fundamental knowledge required for all pilots.  It is written in an easy-to-read format with hundreds of diagrams illustrating the concepts and information.
