Abstract
The Partnership to Enhance General Aviation Safety, Accessibility, and Sustainability (PEGASAS) Center of Excellence research team from Western Michigan University and Iowa State University have partnered with the FAA Weather Technology in the Cockpit NexGen Research Program and FLY8MA Ground School to develop aviation weather lessons for flight instructors and the GA community. These lessons are available free to any members of the aviation community and are sponsored by The FAA Weather Technology in the Cockpit (WTIC) NexGen Program.
The WeatherXplore mini-lessons are 10 short weather lessons with real-world scenarios of weather phenomenon and weather products a General Aviation pilot may encounter. The complete lessons can be accessed here: https://fly8ma.com/courses/weatherxplore-lessons/
Each lesson provides a short quiz with a completion certificate. For the CFI there are tips and techniques that they can use with students to enhance weather-related training, refresh knowledge, aid in knowledge correlation. or update weather and weather product knowledge.
