About this event

Speaker Steve Bateman will discuss the array of weather products on portable devices and in general aviation cockpits. Near real time graphical and textual weather products may contribute greatly to pilot situational awareness and decision making, but we must be fully aware of the limitations and capabilities of the data source, display equipment, and the information provided, to really benefit from this technology.

Learning Points:

Pilots must be competent in making critical flight decisions based on assessments of the information provided
A thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of weather information resources is essential for safe flight
Weather information procurement and weather decision making is part of sound aviating
Never let an "app" fool you into making poor weather decisions.
Use the amazing resource of live flight service briefers...if we don’t, they'll disappear and then we really will be on our own
Eyes outside is still the best strategy for the majority of GA flying

Stephen Bateman, CFI, LSRM, Ph.D., FAASTeam Lead Representative, is the owner of 'Chocks Away Aviation LLC' located in Redmond, Oregon
