Safer Flight Through Understanding Available Weather Information and Its Limitations

Brief Description:
In this interactive presentation, we'll consider weather hazards for general aviation pilots and then look at current technologies a pilot might use to reduce the risk of an incident or accident related to the weather. We'll take a deeper look at flight weather sources that are useful on the ground and in the air. As importantly, we'll look at the limitations one must remember when using these resources.
