Undervalued but valuable | All pilots should know this 

Excellent. More content like this would be brilliant. Maybe a video on Rules of Thumb that you find useful for everyday flying in the ATR?

...and the presence of nuclei so to have a basis of a droplet to form.

When we are talking about due point we should emphasise on SALR DALR ELR, saturated adiabatic lapse rate, dry adiabatic lapse rate, environmental lapse rate. With dew point temperature we can predict at what height cloud will form. Air will rise initially as DALR, and after dew point SALR. The air will continue to rise after dew point if the condition is unstable, which is SALR is less than ELR

Dewpoint is a primary weather variable I check as pilot. To me temp, barometric pressure trends and dewpoint temp trends are my top 3 things to check.

Splendid! I finally can read a METAR! Well, at least to the extent you taught us there :)

Super Master class Captain. You are very good. I really like your videos . Congrats from Barcelona, Spain. :)

That was utterly fascinating, thank you. They teach us about dewpoint, but not what you can do with it (and also not trusting it too much).

I did not know that rule that links the spread and the ceiling! Or maybe I ve seen it but did not remember it. Thanks Captain!

Captain... but the METAR states the cloud base and your formula gives cloud ceiling... so between these are the cloud layers ?

I think we went to the same school. 😀. I just saw your other video on Rudder pedals. Happy to see you spreading good airmanship. All the best.

Thank you for making these videos. I can usually rely on them to more fully understand topics beyond the basics in a clear, easy to remember way.

Great lesson 👍

I swear by the importance of dew point…. And predicting it by increasing or decreasing trends in temps and humidity…By the way, exceptions not exemptions in this case.

So does dew point just affect your vision or do you have to adjust your flying?

good stuff, love rule of thumbs..great for training

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Magnar, as always another great video!

Another clear explanation. Thank you.

Excellent... Didn't view that way...

What about freezing rain..?

Weather prognosis at zero zero...

It's a bit confusing, "ceiling" and "cloud base" are the same terms? One of your metar shows FEW and SCT which are not considered "ceiling".

Captain can you do some videos with the normal procedures of the ATR72 ? Preliminary to leaving the aircraft 😊

Thank you!

excellent!

Great explanation capt, could you please cover some topics from aerodynamics also

Brilliant! Dewpoint explained in a way I can understand AND found very useful! Thanks Magnar!

The earth is flat. Pilots need to talk about this. Passenger's do based upon their observations.
