Jason, here's a weather tip for your students to remember - Green takes the bugs off, Yellow takes the paint off, Red takes the wings off!

This isn’t a very good example as different products use different colors for intensity of weather… the colors used are universal! So I think it’s key to mention the exact product this applies to

Haha thats great ! Thanks for that.

Your are consistently setting the standards for all instructors to follow.. seriously... I’ve flown for over 46 years... I like your style

The Finer Points you have earned it. 2nd to none...

Love your content man! I’m a private pilot but watching your videos makes me learn a lot more! Fly safe my friend

This was great info, and I'm sure I'll watch it again sometime.

I love the cloud cover page because it shows the tops.

This is a great video. Thank you Jason!

Excellente work Jason, as always!

Jason, I am in Peoria, IL. This is great information. I am training for my instrument and hope to fly that way to KHIO or KPDX. Thanks for giving a general weather training. Personally I get a briefing outside my airport every time. Keep it up!

Thanks Bill, wilco

Good info, I just starting using Foreflight so this video was helpful Thanks

Thank you Excellent review ✈️

Thanks have a great weekend

As a newbie to foreflight this was an extremely helpful video. Thank you!

Couldn't watch it live, so am watching the KZread video. Love the content. Trying to follow along with you on my ForeFlight. Would love it if you sometime would go through a flight planning exercise more slowly on ForeFlight and explain what selections you are making and where they are in the app.

GREAT Your back

I'm not catching nearly enough of your content lately as I probably should. Right now, since I can't fly with Crosswinds at PTK or CH2A in Windsor, I've been concentrating solely on building, so I can get the RV-8 in the air this year. But I check in once in awhile, as a reminder of where my head will need to be once I'm flying. All I can do is chant what should be our collective mantra right now: Thank you for your patience in this matter.

My favorite tool to use is HEMS Tool on aviation weather. Its combines airport condition and then also does a surprising good job of filling the conditions in between airports with ceiling and vis conditions. Its a very nice visual way to plan for weather.

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.

Thank you for these training series. I learned WX in college in '92 and we took a complete semester on just weather. I feel for these new pilots of automation that seem to be missing the fundamentals such as reading weather code. I'll be looking up the Patreon info soon.

Thanks Tim!

I asked my Instructor to do a side slip. Scheduled for tomorrow. You inspired that for me. Hope all goods well. KOCF

Another great video! I need to get over to Patreon and catch up.

Thank you!!

As a rusty PPL, this was super helpful!

Can't wait to get back into flying and using Foreflight. Last time it was dial-up and DUATs - remember that?

You’re awesome... thank you for sharing. It really helps.

Great video. Learn every time. Still don’t get the impact of trough and ridge

That was really great! I don’t use Foreflight, but FlyQ now has all those weather layers, graphical displays and time sliders, so is very similar. In the Northwest, which you are very familiar with, if you can see the Cascade, the Olympics, Mt Rainier and the San Juan Islands, a pilot can fly quite a ways without any issues. Try to go to the Pacific coast...and that is a different situation, entirely, most of the time. Was going to try to come to Orcas Is this summer, but my dental office is shut down by order of the Governor until at least May 18th, and possibly beyond that. As an Advanced Ground Instructor, was hoping to take away your valuable seminar information as an example of what is vital beyond the usual. Your specialists really add to that great location; hopefully no fires of any great extent this summer. 🛫😎🛬

really good stuff

Your back

Im a new pilot and one of my greatest concerns has been not fully understanding the ForeFlight weather brief. This was a great video to help get me up to speed and not just cherry pick.

Great content especially as a fellow SF Bay Area pilot (KLVK) I use ForeFlight as well so this was really informative. BTW, John Fogerty went to my elementary school in El Cerrito- St Jerome! He grew up there ;)

True story on the cruise missiles. I’m out of KSBA and live in the Santa Ynez Valley. Vandenberg does a ton of rocket stuff between United Space Alliance, SpaceX and the USAF. Especially on the military route between Vandenberg and Edwards.

I seriously thought it was a joke until I met this dude who did it! and brought photos to prove it. Crazy. Pretty cool! but still, crazy.

You are good@

If you swish on or off on the right tool Conner

That was very helpful, Jason. Thanks. Can you offer some guidance regarding being able to remain on the centerline during a takeoff run. I confess, as a student pilot, that has been a struggle for me. Once again, thanks for your videos.!

Use the rudder.

Hey Jason, just so you know, 24 hr military time, such as 0600, that is a zero, not an O. It’s “zero six hundred”. Would you understand if I said the year 2002 as “O2”? I hope not that's the term for oxygen. the correct term for year 02, is zero two. It sounds odd but good habits are easy to break and bad ones are hard to break.

First off, I love your work Jason. Something to consider regarding 91.103 for you..... you only review local WX and you're planning to do pattern work. You're in the pattern and a serious accident or something occurs that closes the airport. Now you have to divert (or possibly loiter). I always consider the need for a diversion even in pattern work flight and especially if the reason you're only doing pattern work is the WX is marginal. Thoughts?

I like your thinking and I do encourage a full briefing for every flight. The problem is, people don't often do it, what tends to happen is that people just check the weather on their phone (METAR / TAFs) and head out. When you hear me talk about allowing for a "shortcut" if you're not leaving the airport area it's mostly to give some license to the idea in order to keep some form to the planning. It's more to make sure that pilots don't lie to themselves and simply skip something they know they should be doing. I also hope that if something comes up in flight, they'd be able to / be capable of getting the new information at a neighboring airport and land safely.

You were going over the vertical cross section chart quickly and you said “perfect” but what bothers me is that the wind direction information doesn’t line up with the wind direction information from the winds aloft chart. Theyre always different. Am I reading it the wrong way? Edit: maybe the arrows indicate the wind direction relative to your flight path? If pointing to the left, horizontally, that means full head wind, the other way around it would be tail wind... otherwise from the side... might make sense

All good

I'm flying from carlsbad to palm springs this weekend. C172 2 people.. What is your favorite route? Banningpass or towards salton sea? Anything other tips? Thx!

Thanks Jason ive been flying since 15 years old. Im not a pro like you just another aviation junky ..anway just wanted to say how much these videos help us pilots. It helps in such a huge way. You look my age so you know that lear ing years ago before this type of platform. To keeping fresh to learning to warning from stupid types of flying this type of learning and clntinued learning is unparalleled! Thank you so much for all these videos and for all you do. MICOPTA ❤ From Mike 1 pilot to another.

Thanks Mike! it’s really been a fun ride

I am VFR pilot

Why do briefers give you information for an area 50 mi south of your departure airport in the opposite direction!? Seems like I always get a lot of information the does not pertain to my flight. I'm probably selling my self short but most of the time, especially since I don't usually fly for more then 50 to 70 miles, I don't usually get a briefing, only cherry pick

which weather station ????

Is this still live?

The HEMS tool > Foreflight

Audio bit weak

Nice video, bad audio

Shit. I'll never be a real pilot...

Yes
