Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Weather is the most critical and complex variable that affects your flying. But you don’t have to be a meteorologist to understand what makes weather, and use that understanding to help make sound flight decisions. This is what being weather wise is all about—the ability to integrate official reports and forecasts with what you can see outside to cope with changing flight conditions in the real world.
This safety briefing will provide analysis of weather products and a systematic method of reviewing and evaluating the existing and forecast weather. Sharing by experienced pilots is highly encouraged and everyone from students to "old pelicans" can benefit.
Presented by featured speaker David St. George, FAA Pilot Examiner, FAA Safety Team Lead Representative, Chief Instructor 14 CFR Part 141 Flight School, NAFI Master Flight Instructor.
