Title:
NAFI - FAA Enhancing Winter Weather Training
Topic:
FAA Weather Research Team Presents Winter Scenarios To Increase Knowledge And Interpretation Skills Of Weather Information.
Date and Time:
Wednesday, October 21, 2020, starting at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Thursday, October 22, 2020 00:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Dr. Ian Johnson, Mr. Danny Sims, Ms. Jennifer Colavito
Brief Description:

This presentation strives to enhance teaching strategies with the goal of reducing the number of accidents and incidents related to adverse winter weather. Using winter weather scenarios, participants will learn the gaps in pilot weather knowledge and their interpretation and use of weather information. In addition, the scenarios will highlight the availability of winter-weather training materials funded by the FAA.

Ultimately participants will be more knowledgeable on specific winter weather topics to stress when teaching their students, will learn about new materials to enhance the teaching of winter weather phenomena, winter weather products/information, and hazardous weather avoidance decision-making.
