Weather Research Tools & Technology - FAA Safety Briefing Live! - March/April 2020 Issue

Aviation Subject Matter Experts Season 1 Episode 22

This is the audio version of an FAA Safety Briefing LiveVideo Broadcast.

The original LiveVideo broadcast can be accessed at https://www.FAASafetyBriefing.com/March-April2020.html and qualifies for FAA WINGS and/or AMT Credits.

The MarApr 2020 issue focuses the variety of tools and technology aviators can use to avoid and/or safely mitigate what we’ve dubbed as UMC, or Unfriendly Meteorological Conditions.

Feature articles cover some of the FAA’s weather research work and programs, including more effective ways to convey cockpit weather imagery, icing avoidance, and the use of weather cameras. We also sit down with the new FAA Administrator, Steve Dickson, to discuss his take on general aviation safety.
