to know how a system will play out? What sources do you trust, and which ones are simply algorithmic crystal balls with pretty graphics?
Just like you train and practice to keep your skills sharp, do the same for your weather intelligence. There is no shortage of great weather books, including “Flying America’s Weather” by Tom Horne; Scott Dennstaedt’s “Pilot Weather: From Solo to the Airlines.” If you plan to go to Oshkosh this year, make it a priority to attend one or more weather seminars. There is probably no one place on Earth where there will be such a large number of aviation meteorology experts on hand.
Finally, if you belong to an aircraft type club or one of the major aviation associations, check out their video libraries and resources. Spend a few minutes per week banking some weather knowledge. It could very well help you make the right call when Mother Nature’s crazy train is bearing down on you. Be safe.
