Brief Description:
This seminar is limited to the Plus One membership due to the very limited number of 20 participants. Additionally we request you only register yourself without adding a Guest, each Member should register themselves.
Those registering that have to cancel for any reason are requested to cancel their registration so that their seat is freed up for another participant. To do so, return to SPANS and select "Cancel Registration".
Take a tour of NOAA's National Weather Service office in San Diego. This tour is arranged to see how forecasters make the local weather product for pilots. You will speak to an aviation forecaster and learn how they make the weather you see like TAFs, forecast discussions, and more. Take the opportunity to ask questions and get an insight into what to watch out for in our local area. Put a face to the person who makes the product we read almost every day and learn about other weather resources you can use that you may not have thought of. Learn about the technology they use and the associated strengths and weaknesses and what can cause a forecast to change or be inaccurate which can help you be a safer pilot.
There will be time for Q&A during the presentation.
Prior to attending a safety seminar in person, please review and abide by Current CDC, State and Local Health Guidelines.
