- In this video we discuss the sources of weather, the three types of METAR's (ATIS, ASOS, AWOS), the terminal area forecast (TAF), the graphical aviation forecast (GAF), and the Prog charts.
We also discuss true versus magnetic winds, and the types of clouds. We also discuss what makes a thunderstorm (instability, lifting force, and moisture). We talk 91.103 (NWKRAFT).

Got a check ride at the end of the month. This is a HUGE help, probably some of the best to the point explanations I've seen on youtube or anywhere else by far. Thanks so much for posting. Great info on your website as well.
Thank you! Good luck on your checkride!
How'd your checkride go?
Great content! I'm studying for my checkride next month!
Thank you! Good luck!
This is the best video showing how to actually use this information in real world flying. I had a pretty good handle on weather theory, but not on how to go about applying it to an actual flight. This is insanely good. My stage 1 check is coming up and I will have to give a weather briefing. I’m feeling a lot better about it now.
Glad it helped!
You explain very well.
🐐 channel
Thanks!
Like it. Read it, and it's true, hear it and it's magnetic lie. Perfect way to remember. I will share this.
Eric needs to get a scale wings p-51 . Tail wheel, aerobatics, doesn’t burn a lot of fuel, and super cool. His son would be jealous of him lol
This is worth it’s weight in gold! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I paid sportys $300 and you gave not only a better but more thorough explanation for free on TH-cam geez !!!! Thank you very much this helped me ALOT more ! Curious do you offer any 10 day instrument training at all ????
Glad it helped! I did a 10 day instrument course back when I did my instrument. I’d be glad to help but not sure a 10 day instrument course is very realistic for most people. Where are you located? I am at KBHM/KGAD
Knowing the taf code and metar code is easy. Knowing all of the color and chart symbols is hard. This is expected for my check-ride.
During the check-ride, you are not allowed to go to the legend. When reading a Metar or Taf. Also, you are expected to know all of the symbols for the observations. Better know all of the symbols. Fog, Rain, Thunderstorm, dust, haze, better know how to read the metars on the observation page without clicking on the metal reading the metal like you just read.
Very very good. But one question do we not subtract 5/6 hours from Zulu to get local time? Very good and easy to follow.
Yes but It depends upon where you are and if on daylight savings time or not. A good place to check is the chart supplement (A/FD?). It will give you the conversion to Zulu time from military time for a particular airport.
For the legend, during my checkride, where can I find the complete legend like you posted? Am I allowed to bring a paper copy with me?
I made flash cards. you’ll be surprized what you can memorize. Page 865 & 866 of the AIM (2024) has what you’re looking for.
You can access all of the slides I reference at cofieldaviation.com. Yes you can print them off and take them to your checkride.
Do you nave a good resource for learning zulu time? I can't seem to understand when it has 0's in front.
Looks like a terrible place to fly. Horrible weather.
