Fwd: Weather Challenge - FAASafety.gov

	FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education
You have asked us to notify you when a seminar is scheduled that meets your criteria. The following seminar may be of interest to you: "Weather Challenge" Topic: Weather Challenge On Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 7:00 PM Location: Southern Museum of Flight 4343 73rd Street North Birmingham, AL 35206 Select Number: NR0351035 Description: 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 To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.
