– – Winter Cross Country with Rhon Williams – –

Rhon Williams will show how flight planning for a long cross–country flight during winter weather requires multiple weather planning tools to make good decisions before and during flight. With many winter storms and likely icing, timing is critical.

This presentation will describe the weather forecast tools used for an actual flight during challenging real winter conditions. It includes views of various forecast tools, how they are used, their strengths and their limitations. Pilots will learn techniques for planning during difficult winter weather, and will learn how aviation weather forecasts are applied in real decision making.
