The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
Hi I'll, I'm new to the forum. I'm a PPL working through Bob's book doing the IREX. Fun!
I'm trying to work out what a "CASA-approved met observer" is. eg for determing actual QNH for minima etc; eg when setting QNH prior to TO if needing to return to land and looking at taking the 100' off approach minima if actual QNH is available. CAR 120 doesn't define it. I thought a pilot fits the bill when determining things like RVR, but I don't seem to be able to find a definition. Any ideas?
Thanks, Dave
