Weather Resources

Postby Loco » Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:29 am

Hi guys

What websites/resources do you use to check for weather?

I use: http://www.vfrplanner.co.za seems to be the best because they have the wind @ diffirent altitudes

Also, what's you "minimum weather requirements" to make the "go / no go" call?

Examples:
  • QNH >= 1015
    wind <= 10kts (gusting <= 5kts)
    clouds/mist must be 1000ft above your intended flying height?
    if low lying mist is about it must be >= 1 mile away and not be moving towards you
Many thanks would appreciate your inputs

Cheers
Anthony

Easy to read information for the weekend pilot who does not want to have a met degree to read the aviation weather charts.
