Abstract. This article discusses the technique of piloting and performing helicopter operations in the meteorological layers. The influence of weather is by far the largest contributor to all helicopter accidents. All civil aviation flights can be performed only if the flight crew knows the meteorological situation in the flight area, landing site and at alternate aerodromes. Therefore, it is extremely important that each pilot has a free command of the necessary meteorological knowledge, understands the physical nature of meteorological phenomena, their relationship with the development of synoptic processes and local physical and geographical conditions, which is a guarantee of flight safety. The type of weather that can be affected: wind, rain, cold, snow, fog, clouds or lightning.
