How’s the Weather??


AVIATION WEATHER

 

Weather is continuous in the State of the Atmosphere, all flying takes place in the atmosphere, so flying and weather are inseparable. I sincerely believe all pilots and flight operations personnel will enjoy this post and also at the same time increase your flying safety. What you should know about weather?
I want to share this notice for your safety and the safety of those with you.
My best advice to all of you who read my safety blog, always learn to recognize the bad weather and make a good decision before is too late if you don’t understand why many times you have to make decisions involving thunderstorms and flying . So this information also describes how you can use as a good tool for flying safely all the time. Weather is an important piece of any flight.

How’s the Weather??
Notice Number: NOTC5091

Weather is an important aspect of any flight.  
  
Pilots must know and understand all weather associated with their flight, both as a preflight action and as the flight progresses. 
  
Fortunately, there are many new sources of aviation weather to help pilots.  Providers are now making weather data available in the cockpit and on many smart devices.  These include government and private weather providers and most have explanations of how their products work on their associated websites. The FAA cannot recommend what weather provider a pilot should use but does stress that pilots must validate that whatever weather provider they choose bases its weather data on official government weather data.   
  
Once the weather data is collected, pilots need a strategy to integrate the weather information into their planning and go-no-go decision making before and during flight. 
  
To improve these weather related skills, all pilots are invited to take the FAASTeam’s new online course - “Aviation Weather Data – A Targeted Approach”.  The course can be found on FAASafety.gov (ALC-322) at the following link:
