Avwxworkshops Launches a Daily Live Weather Brief for Pilots

The EZ Weather Brief broadcast was designed to provide a national level general aviation-targeted weather overview, similar to the one that aired on PBS member stations that ran from 1978 to 1995. The goal of the program is to provide pilots with a short 10- to 15-minute report on the day’s aviation weather impacts across the contiguous U.S. and parts of southern Canada. 

Dr. Scott Dennstaedt—an instrument-rated pilot and previous National Weather Service research meteorologist—has always wanted to support and give back to the aviation community. 

“It’s always been a dream of mine to give back to the general aviation community in this way,” Dennstaedt said in a statement. “There has been a huge interest for this kind of morning summary of the weather over the last couple decades, and I have the unique credentials to make it happen.”

Each broadcast is recorded and uploaded to the avwxworkshops YouTube page for on-demand viewing. 

Please note that this live broadcast and video recording is subject to schedule and availability and is strictly for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be a substitute for a formal weather briefing as required by 14 CFR 91.103 (a).
