local influences and how to determine winds aloft and stability.
The Weather To Fly system take pilot
capabilities plus aircraft limitations and weight them against
the weather in the ultimate decision of "whether to fly".

Producer Comments
This program is packed with useful details
with a comprehensive view of the basics and practical
applications that you can use immediately.
Expert pilots will be able to follow all points in their first
viewing, while newer pilots may view it a number of times to
full grasp all of the concepts. Our goal was to make this
program beneficial for new, as well as, experienced pilots.
Using the principles presented in Weather To Fly, you can make
better decisions about "whether to fly".
Track your flight history and educating yourself for future
flights by having an easy reference to past conditions and the
quality of the flight you had. See trends that you might not
have seen if you hadn't had documentation. Try to "get smarter
each time you fly".
