More Event Details
Follow along as Jeff enters a sample route, obtains a briefing, and uses forecasts, radar, satellite imagery, and weather cameras to see what conditions a pilot can expect along the way. Bring a familiar route in mind so you can try the same process before your next flight.
Join us in person or attend live via Zoom. Online attendees are encouraged to ask questions during the walkthrough. If you’ve ever wondered where to find a weather product or how to use it in your briefing, bring that question for Jeff. FAA WINGS credit will be awarded for attending.
