Wind shear at St Helena Airport made plenty of headlines in 2016 when the first commercial passenger aircraft experienced difficulties landing, however, since then, weather forecasting at the airport has developed considerably and now play a crucial role supporting the weekly flight operations.
An Aviation Weather Forecaster is permanently based at St Helena Airport, operating from inside the Air Traffic Control tower.
Using specialised weather monitoring equipment such as radar, sensors and wind speed instruments, along with constant visual assessments and recording of local conditions, the weather forecaster is now able to provide expert assistance to pilots and aircraft operations.
As the database of information grows, the accuracy of predictions improve.
This film takes a look at the role of the Aviation Weather Forecaster at St Helena Airport, in preparing for a flight arrival and departure.

This guy is clearly very intelligent with exceptional speaking skills. I wish I was that smart! I could listen to him all day long. Even if he was just reading the phone book.
