In Episode 27 of Sky Commander Academy, we recap one of the most exam-heavy — and flight-critical — topics in drone ops: meteorology. This Q&A special brings together the most common listener questions and key concepts from Episodes 11 through 13, helping you master how weather affects your RPAS.

From interpreting aviation weather reports to understanding clouds, wind, and visibility — this episode gives you the clarity you need to fly safely and pass your Basic RPAS Certificate exam.

We revisit:

• The basics of atmospheric layers, cloud types, and wind dynamics that impact drone performance

• How to read and apply METARs, TAFs, and access real-time weather tools

• What to watch for in rain, snow, temperature extremes, and visibility that can lead to mid-air failures
