This DVD simplifies complex weather concepts as well as illustrates consequences of pilot judgement in a 5-step system specific to Sport Pilots and light-sport aircraft operations. You will learn to forecast local conditions, interpret weather information accurately, make better decisions about whether to fly, and learn to see trends so you get smarter each time you fly. Includes booklet with worksheets for an interactive learning experience. Companion to the Sport Pilot Logbook (ASA-F2F-LOG).
