AvWx Workshops Offers Personalized Weather Training Online

A mesoscale convective system (MCS) is one weather concept that many pilots are not familiar with. NOAA

If you are one of many pilots thoroughly confused by the process of deciphering weather data prior to a flight, one of the most important components of a preflight, here is one way to bring some clarity. AvWx Workshops is offering one-on-one training that breaks down the gathering and deciphering of weather information through PowerPoint presentations and desktop sharing. The desktop sharing allows the presenter to show the participant in real time how to conduct the weather briefing. Communications between the instructor and participant is done through the phone.

The online training is just that, training, and is not meant to be used as an actual weather briefing service. Best of all, the training is dedicated to your needs, so you won’t spend any time on aspects that you are already familiar with.

A one-hour session costs $79 and is conducted through online GoToMeeting. Time slots are available at various hours on Monday through Friday and can be booked online at avwxtraining.com. The website also includes a weather blog with articles on weather related topics.
