Thunderstorms are a force of nature not to be underestimated. In the first of our weather series, we discuss the stages of thunderstorms and what you as a pilot should do if you find yourself unexpectedly flying into a thunderstorm.
Aviation Mastery at Sea - aviationmastery.com - We'd love for you and your family to join us for this fun-filled vacation of a lifetime.
I am a retired airline pilot of 26 years. I startedcflying in 1972 and I managed to never enter a thunderstorm. Preflight planning was a big part of that.
How’s space treating you? Nice views?
'Never let compulsion take the place of good judgment'
Very important. Thanks for this precise and informative vid. Keep it up
Those are just loads of fun! Thanks to ARTCC I flew into a line. I turned around and got out. It slapped my C-182 hard enough to set off the ELT. I was furious and thankful to Jesus for the flying skill He blessed me with. I saw the Vertical speed peg in both up and down off the scale!! Straight & level? Ha !! Just gently hold Va!!! And get the hell out!
CFIA&I. RET.
My old instructor called them VISA clouds. He said that when you see those clouds, you land, get out your VISA card and stay put until they go away.
Super good tutorial....important things to remember always... especially as I live on the West coast of Florida....where these thunderstorms blow up all summer long and often very quickly...
We were Sky Truck, an extremely busy part 121 air carrier. Our old Douglas DC-6 equipped with the old tube type Sperry or Bendix weather radar. Monochrome screen that either worked or it didn't. They would not paint cells on the other side. 5 days a week we are going. We'd check the weather only to decide the alternate listed and how much fuel to put on board. Stow loose items and tighten the belt, we're going.
Thank you guys!
Insightful!! Watching as many of these videos as possible before my IFR flight test in a week from now! Keep up the good work!
Best of luck!
Great video keep up the great work I’m proud to be a mzeroa member
Watching and learning. Thanks.
Thanks
Great info!
Nice. Wish you would do a biennial flight review on PPL. There is really nothing other than a few vids on this. What’s involved ? What’s expected ? Etc.
Unless you have done this in the past and i missed it some how.
Nice video. One question about not doing a 180 if you got into a thunderstorm. Wouldn't it be wiser to still do a 180 but a very shallow bank rather than continue forward? You could be getting yourself deeper into a cell/storm which could be miles long?
Yeeew! Thanks Jason!
Thanks for watching!
I am a student pilot and I make notes daily from your videos. Thank you!!!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Thumbs up!
Thanks for watching!
Love your channel intro music is over the top however.
GSO, that's from my hometown... I wonder why I don't remember this... Do you have a link to the NTSB report?
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it- thanks for watching!

The only time I ever flew through clouds is when I went on a vacation ion Florida. It was on a wide body jet and the pilot had flown through one tower after another of tall rising clouds. There was a little bit of buffet, but I was not concerned as everyone else in the airliner seemed to think that this was normal. I learned to fly at the asshole of the world and many a time I would go up for a lesson in bad or marginal weather. "Guess the flying club needed the money"? I thought that this was okay till I read an article in Flying magazine, at the back of the mag. To where this one well known pilot, was going to fly beneath a cloud, to where he could see the route and place he wanted to go, however he then had no idea of the updraft conditions beneath that large but innocent looking cloud. About a quarter of the way through his journey under this cloud and updraft, despite all he could do to keep the small plane from climbing, started to ascend up into it. As he put it, "That thing was trying to suck me and my aircraft up into it"! For me, you need both instinct as well as either radar, advice from ATC, or a avi-Garmen to fly near clouds. I don't like either storms or clouds and urge to use caution, as those clouds usually have more muscle than a private plane./ *Notes, what to do and how to handle it, if your plane gets caught in a violent storm./Limits of structial airworthiness imposed on an aircraft to failure, why and how this happens.
I like these videos
Glad we can help! Thanks for watching, Dwight!
Excellent. One exception though. Keeping going straight through a TS not a good idea as likely one will get into the heart of convection and flight conditions getting progressively worse. Disagree with FAA on this advice. A gentle turn through 180o probably better course of action.
You da man
Thanks for watching!
Richard Collins had the perfect label for this "destinitis" (des tin nitis). He stated that this had killed more pilots than anything.
???
@@bishop51807 Richard Collins was the former editor of Flying. He is deceased now. He wrote years ago that the most dangerous thing that pilots did was "I have to get there" "des tin ni tis". Old school.
It's always so important to have a backup plan.
How do the "hurricane hunters" make it through storms?
Hefty, overbuilt military airframes.....plus they only have to fly through a few miles of "thunderstorm" like conditions. From what I understand, most of the air in a hurricane is actually pretty stable and is mostly flowing in one direction. I think the worst conditions are just before penetrating the eye wall.
@@marinepilot5723 Thanks.
Never let your employer force a trip on you... Ive always took a park it and wait as weather moves on... No terror flying @0500 hrs....
Never hurts to wait it out, thanks for tuning in!
A thunderstorm is coming to my place
Hopefully you weren't planning on flying!
🌩🌩🌩🌩🌩🌩🥺🥺😵😵
We agree haha
I doubt they actually met in October 2020 ...
Not this year, but hoping for some fun future events!
Pilots misinterpret both clouds and radar displays. Radar is not clouds - it is rain or hail. Rain means a developed storm, so yes best to stay out. But it can also just be gentle harmless rain, and by trying to avoid all rain you can fly into turbulence. Even commercial flights have been brought down by misinterpretation of radar. If there are storms everywhere, you should not be in a GA aircraft dodging them if you can avoid it. Scott Crossfield of all people, one of the greatest of all pilots, got himself killed in a storm. Also - any time you see puffy clouds all around and out to distance, you are in the WRONG place! That means the air is rising over a large area and you are certain to run into turbulence. Trying the thread the needle in this situation has surely killed many a GA pilot.
