As an example, if you are photographing a plane flying against a cloudy sky, the camera will automatically meter the scene very dark as it thinks the sky shouldn't be bright.
You should expect this to happen, so apply exposure compensation to force the camera to go darker or lighter than what it thinks to make sure the plane comes out properly.

Very handy in dealing with difficult exposure situations, use the Exposure Bracketing feature which makes use of the Exp. Comp. by giving you a metered exposure, then taking frames both above and below the metered exposure at 1/3rd, 1/2 or 1/4 stop increments.

The D40/40x/60 don't have exposure bracketing.

That sucks! Can do it manually then still, or get a handheld meter and get it spot on everytime 
I went for this one and it really is the bollocks:
