This podcast is a training manual on aviation weather, focusing on preflight weather briefings and the interpretation of various weather reports and charts. Key elements covered include the importance of thorough briefings, sources of weather information (both official and unofficial), and the use of real-time data for scenario-based training. The manual explains how to interpret METARs and TAFs, as well as surface analysis charts, winds and temperatures aloft charts, and significant weather prognostic charts. Finally, it discusses in-flight weather advisories (AIRMETs, SIGMETs, Convective SIGMETs, and PIREPs), recognizing weather hazards like wind shear and microbursts, and making informed "go/no-go" decisions.
