Live aviation weather classes
Are you looking for a more structured approach to aviation weather training? If so, you should plan to attend one or more 12-week live classes by AvWxTraining. Each class is taught by CFI & former NWS meteorologist, Dr. Scott Dennstaedt.
​
At AvWxTraining, we use Google Meet for all of our live classes. Every class will have time reserved at the end for the attendees to ask questions. Each class will be recorded and a link to the recording will be provided the following day. Therefore, it is not mandatory that you attend each live class to get the most from the 12-week course. You must pay the full tuition to obtain the recording. Check back for new live classes being offered.
Skew-T Weather Essentials
This class is less about learning how to use the Skew-T log (p) diagram and more about learning the fundamental principles and building blocks of aviation meteorology. The tool makes for a great canvas or backdrop to teach you about what causes the formation of clouds, fog, airframe icing, turbulence, and thunderstorms, just to name a few. In other words, you need to understand these basic principles of weather first, before mastering how to interpret the Skew-T log (p) diagram for your preflight weather planning and analysis.
In a nutshell, this 12-week course is specifically directed at certificated private/commercial pilots, flight instructors and designated pilot examiners that want to really learn the science and application of the Skew-T log (p) diagram. It is open to pilots with and without an instrument rating. Putting it succinctly, this is meant to be a slight notch above the intermediate level. For most students attending this 12-week course, 20% of the material will be a review of basic aviation weather concept and the other 80% will be new or untaught material to focus on those gaps in knowledge that most certificated pilots possess.
