This three-hour seminar is presented in three parts.
Part one is a fantastic review of basic weather concepts. What causes weather to develop in certain areas? What are some of the basic aviation weather hazards?
The second part is an in-depth look at icing hazards. We'll look at how it forms, what temperatures and tools to determine whether it will form or not.
Finally we will review a current flight planning scenario with consideration to winter weather.
