Free webinar: Aviation Weather Hazards

By General Aviation News Staff · December 18, 2019 ·

The FAA Safety Team is sponsoring a free webinar, “Aviation Weather Hazards — Vital Information for Pilots,” on Friday, Dec. 27, 2019.

“Weather is the most lethal of all major causes of aviation accidents,” FAA officials note.

The webinar will discuss methods to assess potential weather hazards and how to avoid them, including:

  • The top resource for assessing potential turbulence or mountain waves
  • Tools that most pilots rely on — that are not reliable (and what to use instead)
  • How to determine if thunderstorms will be a factor
  • Recognizing turbulence or LLWS even when it’s not forecast.
  • Identifying mountain weather hazards in areas with few reporting points.

The webinar is slated for 7 a.m. Pacific time, 10 a.m. Eastern time.

The webinar will be presented by Delia Colvin, a 15-year veteran of Air Traffic Control and Flight Service and the author of the Aviation Weather Made Easy series.
