Hello!

Not a bad flying weekend ahead but watch for those lowering freezing levels and a risk of icing. It will be breezy and feeling cold for all.

The last of my winter season Aviation Weather Schools is now full, but because so many of you have been asking about coming along I have decided to run another Aviation Weather School (Part 1) on Saturday 21st April 2018. There are a couple of places remaining so if you;d like to come along, now is your chance. I'll show you how to spot those all important weather windows and make the most of your flying time. The course is perfect for all pilots, whatever your experience, and a place at Weather School makes an ideal Christmas present. Find out more information at http://www.WeatherSchool.co.uk , you can also book online or feel free to give me a call if you'd like a chat about the course.

Weatherweb Premium also has lots of weather wisdom and is continuing to grow with more pilots joining every week. There's stack of weather information, forecasts and learning to be found on the website and you can try Weatherweb Premium completely free at
