Learn to read METAR's, TAF's, and Pilot Reports in an interactive environment!
Version 3.0 includes training on the new 30-hour TAF codes, plus a new module on Pilot Reports!
Weather Statement Groundschool™ is
a CD-ROM-based course on METAR's, TAF's, and Pilot Reports. Nearly 3 hours of stunning, interactive training is provided.
This tutorial on METAR's, TAF's, and Pilot Reports is unlike any other such training.
It not only teaches the most basic aspects of METARï¾’s, TAFï¾’s, and Pilot
Reports, but also provides training on components that most pilots are unaware
of. Still, learning is made easy and fun, through full voice narration and
easy-to-use controls.
Where this tutorial truly shines:
Weather Statement Groundschool promotes learning through human
interaction - not just rote memorization. A remarkable feature is the interactive
weather controls, which enable the user to "control the weather." For example,
the user can specify wind speed, gust factor, direction, and other variables,
and can then view how the weather statement displays this information. Since
weather codes are confusing to interpret, the user can click the "Speak-It"
button to hear a verbal translation. This allows the user to correlate codes
with a true, visual picture and understanding of the weather.
This tutorial CD is perfect for all pilots, from students to rated pilots who
wish to remain sharp and proficient. It's also ideal for airport personnel,
dispatchers, and anyone else who needs to view aviation weather information.
