Aviation Tutorials Company, LLC has released Weather Statement Groundschool 3.0, an interactive course on METAR's, TAF's, and Pilot Reports, available on CD-ROM or immediate download. Nearly 3 hours of stunning, interactive training is provided.New features in version 3.0 include:
- Training on the new 30-hour TAF weather forecasts (which became effective in November 2008), and
- A third module that teaches interpretation of Pilot Reports.
Weather Statement Groundschool 3.0 is unlike any other training on weather statements. It not only teaches the most basic aspects of METAR's, TAF's, and Pilot Reports, but also provides training on components that most pilots are unaware of. Still, learning is made easy and fun, through full voice narration and easy-to-use controls.
Where Weather Statement Groundschool 3.0 truly shines is the way it promotes learning through interaction_not just rote memorization. A remarkable feature is the interactive weather controls, which enable the user to "control the weather." For example, the user can specify wind speed, gust factor, direction, and other variables, and can then view how the weather statement displays this information. Since weather codes are confusing to interpret, the user can click the "Speak-It" button to hear a verbal translation. This allows the user to correlate codes with a true, visual picture and understanding of the weather.
This tutorial CD is perfect for all pilots, from students to rated pilots who wish to remain sharp and proficient. It's also ideal for airport personnel, dispatchers, and anyone else who needs to view aviation weather information.
This training provides the same superb quality as other Aviation Tutorials products, such as The Navigation CD-ROM, VOR/NDB Simulator, and Getting Around On The Ground. Aviation Tutorials, in business since 1995, invites inquiries about its aviation training products. The product is available for $59, and additional information is available at www.avtutorials.com or you may call 414-525-8005.
