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:  https://www.faasafety.gov/gslac/ALC/course_catalog.aspx    Want to learn more?    General Aviation Pilot’s Guide to Preflight Weather Planning, Weather Self-Briefings, and Weather Decision Making  http://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/media/ga_weather_decision_making.pdf
