About This Course

Enhancing Weather Knowledge and Training

An encore of the NAFI Professional Development Center session filmed live at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The originally scheduled MentorLIVE presenter cancelled, so this weather program aired in its place.

This course is for flight instructors and pilots to enhance instructor ability to teach aviation weather, and to provide information on new weather products including their limitations and enhanced benefits.
