Aviation Meteorology is the branch of the science in which we study the processes, phenomena and forecasting of weather. In ground classes of Aviation Meteorology our instructors cover all topics prescribed by DGCA syllabus e.g. Atmosphere, Pressure and Temperature, Density, humidity, clouds, winds, visibility, reports and climatology of India.  Normally the duration required for Meteorology ground classes in Captessar Aviation is 15 days. However we try to continue it till the date of examinations.

Captessar Aviation not only covers DGCA prescribed syllabus but also use video classes, Computer based training, conduct practice tests, mock tests, and mock interviews to enable students to advance their knowledge and perform well in the exams.
