Commercial Pilot Weather
Commercial pilots can expect to find themselves flying in a wide range of weather conditions, often all in one flight. It is not uncommon to take off from an airport that is high and hot, to find yourself shooting an approach in icing conditions to minimums.
This course is built around the decision making process of a commercial pilot navigating a plethora of weather conditions from one day to the next. You will learn the strategy, tactics and tips on how to forecast, observe and safely fly a range of meteorological conditions.
