AOPA Weather Challenge Coming to Birmingham

Birmingham Aero Club's fall AOPA seminar is coming Wednesday, November 13 from 7-9 pm to the Southern Museum of Flight. You don't need a meteorologist-level understanding of weather to be a good pilot-though to judge from some of the educational materials out there, you might think so. Skew-T diagrams and moist adiabatic lapse rates are all well and good, but for most of us it's the practical stuff that matters.

With that in mind, our new seminar is aimed at bolstering your real-world weather wisdom-and having a little fun, too. As with our recent"Chart Challenge" seminar, we'll put your knowledge to the test, quizzing you on everything from METAR/TAF decoding to real-world weather scenarios. Along the way we'll cover:

• The most important weather resources for pilots
• Critical tie-ins with risk management and decision making
• Weather-related accidents that didn't need to happen
• The promise (and pitfalls) of cockpit weather

 

The Air Safety Institute's safety seminars qualify for the safety seminar portion of the FAA WINGS program. Learn more about the AOPA Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Enhancement for policyholders of Chartis Aerospace, USAIG, Phoenix Aviation Managers and Starr Aviation.

 

ASI safety seminars are funded by generous donations from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and pilots like you.
