The Four Types of Fronts Explained

In this video, we'll dive into the four types of fronts and cover everything you should know about them as a pilot.

Put simply, a front is a boundary layer between two types of air masses. There are four main types: warm fronts, cold fronts, occluded fronts, and stationary fronts.

Any approaching front means changes in the weather are imminent. This is why it is particularly important that pilots understand how weather fronts work, what conditions they cause, and how to identify them.
