I've left this video up because I still believe there is useful information in it. However, please watch the new video for where to find the tools and what changes have happened. Thank you!
Do you struggle with Aviation Weather? Do you find the weather services hard to use? Being able to access and interpret aviation weather reports is a critical skill for passing your private pilot check ride. Let’s take a look at a FREE Aviation Weather App suite found within the aviation weather center that can save you a significant amount of time and energy!

Thank you! I don’t know. Some videos take off like wildfire and some take more time. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!
Your videos are truely a gold mine. Videos about obscure topics like this are some of the most helpful I have seen from RUclips creators. thank you for your work.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you find them useful! You are very welcome!
Scot
Awesome videos, especially for student pilots like me.
Please keep them coming!
Thank you for the comment! I’m so glad they are helpful. More are on the way!!
I agree!! Great videos and congrats on going over the 1000 mark so early. We're staying with you! 😃
Thank you! Thank You! I hope my videos continue to be interesting and useful!

Congrats on 1000 subscribers! Remember me when you go big and keep it up, ive been subscribed since around 90, your videos are really helpful
Thanks Daniel! It is an interesting milestone. I'm really glad you (and others) are getting value from these videos. There are definitely more to come. They are interesting and fun to create and I learn at least one new thing for every video I post. Thanks for sticking with me and I hope to continue providing helpful content! Have a great day!!
Love your videos… as a student pilot, these help.
Thank you! I’m glad they are helpful! More to come!!
My CFI suggested I play around with the AWC website. Thanks for more tips!
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. Thank you for the subscription! Greetings back from KRST!!
Another great video
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment!!
Just finished today’s 140 NM cross country and used GFA extensively for navigation log development 🤓
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
This was awesome. However, the page has SIGNIFICANTLY changed. Would love an update!
Hmmm… Yes it has. I’ll put it on the list. Thanks for the comment and the suggestion!
Scott..... if you get a chance would you check out the beta version of the new Aviation Weather Center and let me know if you can find the Winds/Temps Aloft Forecast Tables like in the current version of the GFA. I cannot and I have inquired as to where they are, no response from AWC folks yet.
@Ken E. I have looked at the Beta version and you are right, it doesn’t have the basic Winds/Temps aloft forecasts. Instead, it expands a bit on the GFA’s interactive Winds forecast capabilities (on the main page, just choose “Winds” from the “Weather” menu). The menu is a bit harder to see on a phone, but it is there. Also, this is a Beta, and has changed a few times. The regular winds/temps aloft forecasts may yet make it into the final version. We’ll just have to wait and see. Please let us know what you hear (if anything) from AWC.
Having said all that, I would love to see some updates to the standard winds/temps aloft forecasts. Foreflight and other third party suppliers have started using different modeling that provides more granularity without having to do so much interpolation. In fact, as noted in the video, the GFA tool uses some of those same models to provide Winds Aloft. It would be nice to see improvements to the number of reporting stations and the reporting altitudes so that flight planning could be a bit easier/faster.
Thanks for the comment!!
@@ScottKoonCFI I just asked the AWC yesterday about expanding the reporting stations in order to make each geographic section/area that much more complete and even add to safety for planning purposes.
Excellent! Thank you!
Well they changed the website. This is irrelevant now. The entire site was overhauled in October 2023.
Thank you for the comment. Yes. They’ve moved things around quite a bit. I actually did a video on the updates. The link is here:

I left this video up, because all the tools we discuss in this video, but one, still exist and this video goes through them in a little more detail. I hope the new video is helpful. Thanks again for the comment.
Why would you want to keep this stuff a secret?! That just seems heartless dude….stone cold lol
He he he. I don’t want to keep it secret. I want to put it on the internet (giggle). Thanks for the comment!
