Do I understand what the information in METAR, TAF, AIRMET, SIGMETS and other charts mean? Do I know how to find the information I am looking for?
I use fore-flight and AWC to collect these charts.

Will it have the necessary performance?]]> 2018-12-03 04:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katiemariechristensen/AVSC2110_Discussion14/wish/310276670 katiemariechristensen https://padlet.com/katiemariechristensen/AVSC2110_Discussion14/wish/310276853 Do I know how long it will take? What the route is? Estimated time of departure? Arrival? How long enroute? How much fuel is required? How much will I have on board? What is my call sign or tail number? VFR or IFR? All of this information is essential to flight planning as well as getting a full standard weather briefing.

What weather systems are moving through? Cold fronts, warm fronts? Forecasted weather conditions? This is the time to start getting a big picture of what you are likely to experience. You can find this information in an outlook briefing, TAF and prog charts. You can also start getting an idea from local weather forecasts.

There are several ways to do this including; ATC, ATIS, FSS, and HIWAS. All of these are sources of current weather conditions that are accessible in flight. Then using the updated weather you can again compare them to your ability and aircraft capabilities. If you have the capability you can continue to your destination. If not then you will divert. ]]> 2018-12-03 05:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/katiemariechristensen/AVSC2110_Discussion14/wish/310277868
