Really interesting day; not sure how much of it I will retain but I understand a lot more about how to use weather charts and the different types of winds around the U.K. Also good info about weather... See more

A great course expertly presented in a friendly manner. More examples of interpretation of weather charts would be of a benefit but I appreciate there is some not limited time.

Aviation Weather School Part 1

I attended an online course (Aviation Weather School Part 1). The course was excellent and extremely worth while. As a PPL holder it was invaluable and gave me structure and method to my forecasting. I would encourage anyone to take this course who has their license and has some experience, and wants to build a better understanding of weather forecasting. It will definitely help understand the better days for flying. You won't regret taking this course.

Simon is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable Meteorologist, on top of being a great presenter and teacher of the Met subject matter. It makes it much easier to learn as opposed to reading through endless textbooks.

I definitely intend on attending Aviation Weather School Part 2 when I am able to.

PS (Ignore the fake reviews below if they are still there.)

Perfectly Pitched for Pilots

A really excellent course, and that's before mentioning the cakes! Clear, understandable and pitched just right for the practical rather than theoretical student.I am far more confident as a GA pilot now than before Part 1, and I speak as someone who had previously been on a Met Office course. Very much looking forward to snagging a slot on Part 2.

Excellent course to help get the most from your flying

Small classes and an excellent tutor means that these friendly informal sessions really do pack a punch. I feel great confidence in my longer term forecasting and understanding of the weather following these courses which ultimately means I can get better value out of flying. Really highly recommended course. I can’t wait for part 3!

Great day of learning

Great day learning a subject that always came hard for me to understand.
Simon is a great teacher with such passion for the subject that you can’t help getting engrossed in what you are being taught.
It also helps that Simon has a great personality and a wonderful sense of humour.

whatever you fly get on this course...

If you are a pilot of any flying machine and want to maximise the amount of tome you get in the sir then this course is an absolute must. Simon structures the day to suit the capabilities of everyone thar attends and really breaks down weather forecasting into bite sizes chucks of information that are easy to understand and apply.
Great day, great people and a great course

Pleased you enjoyed it Bethan. Happy to answer questions. Good luck with the exams.

All the practical stuff, the books never teach you

One of the best courses i've ever been on. I'm addicted to learning, and thought * I had a good gasp of the weather, and yet at times still found the decisions to go or not go hard to make.

The whole day was incredible from start to finish. Small groups ensured open interaction, and the possibility to talk through each pilot's individual weather related questions or scenarios.

I've come away with a much better appreciation of the weather - and a much better understanding to be able to forecast a number of days in advance.

The complex and confusing is broken down with easy, yet memorable explanations, which give constant light bulb and ah-ha moments throughout the day.

Cannot recommend highly enough.

Think you know weather already? I bet you don't!

Excellent weather appreciation for pilots

More than 2 decades after my original PPL weather exams, it was great to attend this course to refresh my knowledge & assist me to make decisions on whether I should fly/not fly based on weather forecasts.

recommended to all pilots

I would recommend the skew T course to any pilot (of any level). The series of short videos really simplifies the subject and makes these forecast charts much easier to read and shows how to make practical use of them.

Aviation weather course part 1 was very…

Aviation weather course part 1 was very enjoyable and informative. I'm looking to book part 2 as I was very happy with everything.
It's a nice informal small group with plenty of opportunity for discussion and clarification of all concepts and expert responses to questions.

The only thing that could improve it for me would be if it took place nearer where I live.

Thanks to the team at Weather School!

Fantastic day

Fantastic day, learnt so much about weather in general and the forecasting process which has given me more confidence to read and interpret the weather information we use as pilots. The small group and Simons style make for a very friendly and interactive day which was really enjoyable as well as informative.

Absolutely fantastic day at Weather School

An absolutely fantastic day at Weather School - enjoyable and extremely informative and a great bunch of fellow pilots as well.
Can't recommend the day enough and Simon is a very entertaining and extremely knowledgeable meteorologist.
It also provided an excuse to fly to Halfpenny Green!
Already signed up for Part 2.
