Meteorological information is provided to pilots through various means, such as forecasts, reports, charts, and briefings. Pilots are required to obtain and use meteorological information for flight planning and decision making.

I will explore the relationship between aviation law and meteorology from a legal perspective. I will examine how meteorological factors can affect the rights and obligations of aviation stakeholders, such as states, airlines, airports, air navigation service providers, pilots, passengers, and third parties. I will also discuss how aviation law can regulate the provision and use of meteorological information for aviation purposes. I will use examples from different jurisdictions and regions to illustrate the main points and challenges.
