Description

In this episode, Dave and fellow Genesis instructor Tyler break down the importance of weather briefs in flight training. From decoding METARs and TAFs to using GFAs and local AWOS reports, they share how introducing students to weather right from the first lesson builds confidence and prepares them for real-world flying decisions. Learn why every flight should start with a full brief and how these skills pay off in both training and beyond.
