Prof. H. Paul Shuch will review the pertinent FARs, explore the reasons for these deviations, and discuss lifesaving training and techniques to follow if you should ever find yourself flying VFR into IMC.
Learn basic strategies for safe mountain flying. Loren French specializes in providing mountain flying training at Alpine Flight School in Colorado. He will discuss route planning, weather, performance, terrain flying, and survival techniques.
Russ Erb and Karl Major, retired USAF flight test pilots, discuss their encounter with an invisible mountain wave rotor, and their subsequent analysis of what happened.
This FAA Safety Team WINGS award webinar will help you to anticipate their actions, altitudes, and location when you hear the magic words “Jumpers Away!” on the common traffic advisory frequency.
Prof. H. Paul Shuch, will review the format of PIREPs, including what they cover, when to file them, where to check them, and how to interpret their sometimes cryptic language. We’re all in this together!
This detailed presentation by Sporty's Bret Koebbe will first cover using ForeFlight on your computer and iPad to develop your own preflight self-weather briefing. You'll learn how to keep up with changing conditions using ADS-B datalink weather.
Communicating with ATC can be intimidating. Pilots can learn what they need to know to fly in controlled airspace. Air traffic controllers Karoline Gorman and Wendy Smith will give participants the knowledge and insight they need to do just that.
Join Prof. H. Paul Shuch as he discusses cloud types and the associated weather patterns. After this FAA Safety Team WINGS webinar, you’ll no longer be able to say (in the words of Joni Mitchell) “I really don’t know clouds at all.”
Dr. Scott Dennstaedt will do an overview of the base diagram and lapse rates before discussing some advanced topics on using the diagram to determine the potential for convective processes including deep, moist convection and cumuliform cloud tops.
This WINGS award webinar Prof. H. Paul Shuch will help you to make sense of what you’re hearing, and come across on the radio as calm, cool, and collected.
Datalink weather has the potential to make your flying safer and more comfortable, but only if you know how to use it properly. Join Sporty's Pilot Shop’s John Zimmerman for an in-depth look at ADS-B, SiriusXM, and how to use them in flight.
Ever since World War II, radar systems have been used to detect, direct, and destroy aircraft. Prof. H. Paul Shuch tells us how transponders were developed to precisely locate, and uniquely identify aircraft.
The Skew-T log-P diagram is the best-kept secret in aviation weather forecasting if you know how to unlock its secrets. Learn from Dr. Scott Dennstaedt basic principles and concepts of weather by also learning how to interpret the Skew-T diagram.
Join air traffic controllers Bob Obma and John Murdock as they discuss the services that ATC provides and when. Participants in this webinar will be able to fly safer and more efficiently in and around controlled airspace.
Join Laura Herrmann as she describes her inadvertent foray into O'Hare Class B airspace and the events that followed. She'll also discuss her flight around the Washington, D.C., SFRA, including what kind of training is involved.
Flying VFR into IMC kills more pilots than all of the other weather-related accidents combined. Dr. Scott Dennstaedt will discuss why pilots make these fatal mistakes and how to use personal minimums to quantify the risk prior to making a flight.
Join us for some weather Q&As where Scott Dennstaedt will provide the answers to the top 10 questions he's been asked over the last 20 years as a former National Weather Service meteorologist and certificated flight instructor.
Radek Wyrzykowski, EAA manager of flight proficiency, breaks down Canadian airspace and discusses it in simple terms you can understand without being an expert in the CARS. This webinar is developed for Canadian airspace and the rules in Canada.
This course will explore some misunderstood procedures and give a behind the scenes perspective that will help you make the most of your flying in controlled airspace. We will use IFR examples but the topics covered will benefit VFR pilots as well.
Join CFI and Aerobatic pilot Luke Penner as he talks about complying with border crossing requirements.
