Mid-latitude cyclones, and their associated air masses and weather fronts, have significant impacts on aviation operations.
discuss at least three specific aviation-related hazards associated with a winter warm front, experienced while flying through the front en route between airfields, and/or during the passage of the front while taking off or landing at an airfield.

Explanation:

The aviation hazards associated with warm fronts during the winter season:

1. Clear ice

2. Low visibility

3. Wind shears

Clear ice:

Icing occurs when the aircraft is en route between airfields. It becomes hazardous to fly within the cold front and just below the warm front as raindrops are large enough to form clear ice on the surface of the aircraft. The formation of clear ice severely affects the airflow over the tail and wings of an aircraft.

Low visibility:

Since warm fronts are slow moving, the low visibility associated with them can last for days. As the dew point rises at a steady rate, fog can be persistent before and during the passage of the front. This hazard can be experienced while take-off or landing.

Wind shears:

Wind shears can increase during the passage of the front which could lead to the slowing of the aircraft and an increase in fuel consumption.
