Hi all,

A mixed Easter weekend, but some flying to be found for most of us. As it's Easter, this forecast extends through Monday.

Places at my next next Aviation Weather School (Part 1) are booking up, so if you'd like to come along get your place booked soon. The course will be held on the consecutive Saturday mornings of 14th and 21st May 2022 between 0930 and 1230hrs.

If you want to build your confidence in understanding weather, making your own forecasts and be able to confidently plan those weather-windows up to 5-days in advance then Aviation Weather School! The course is presented live, by me, and you will also get access to a recording of each session for a few days afterwards so that you can check back on anything you’ve missed. The aim is that you will rapidly recover the cost of the course by saving money and time, and save those precious ‘brownie’ points! You can find out more at http://www.WeatherSchool.co.uk

Remember too that 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 http://premium.weatherweb.net/become-a-member/

And don't forget you can also receive these forecasts by email, just send a blank email to aviationweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net

Happy Easter!
