Flyday Night Flights - 3/24/23 - VFR Flight Sim Planning Basics, Part 5
Tonight is all about aviation weather! After a quick review of last week’s material, we’ll move into the basics of how weather is generated, then venture into weather products, with real-time, real-world examples, along with a discussion as to how this affects flight planning and how it may be presented in the sim.
This is a rather large topic, so the ground session will take most of the time, but we will likely take a short flight at the end if we still have time.
All are welcome to join, whether you are interested in learning, wanting to brush-up, want to offer your own insight, or just want to hang out with a bunch of fun-loving, passionate aviation nerds! I will fly the steam-gauge “classic” Cessna 172 with the WBSim realism mod. The major takeaways will be applicable to both Xbox and PC users, and you do not have to have this or any mod to participate - the stock 172 will give the same overall performance. As always, you are more than welcome to fly along in whatever you like, or just chat, lurk, etc.
See you there!
