I bet this guy never thought that this much people would have learned about weather through this video. And I know a lot more students and instructors are going to be stopping by to watch this. Thanks for helping thousands of pilots!
@@WalterAviationInc Walter aviation 23 hotel… Cleared to land runway “make an updated video because we love it” no delay. Full stop! Lol jk But seriously great stuff! Re watching this for the 5th time!
I cannot thank Jonathan enough for making this video. I have seriously struggled putting all the pieces of weather together until I watched this brilliant video. Jonathan’s an amazing instructor.
Walter.....im 49, from the UK and your class on weather is exactly why i want to train in the US...dud my PPL and Dispatch. Licence there....I understandcweather more now; with ref to aviation, than any course i dud previously. I am a visual learner and cannot just learn from black and white txt books, like the UK. If you teach CPL ground school, please can i have yr companys details? Would be interested. Thanjs for bothering to share your knowledge.
Where on Earth did you attend College? This Instructor desperately needed to have written a Script ! Discursive and rambling narrative. Sorry. Thumbs down. Read, yes actually Read, the Iowa State University Press book entitled "Aviation Weather" which is the definitive course. Period.
@@quidestnunc9238 worked for me...every teacher is different.its the visual learning..couldn't csre less if he was a blind dislexic...if i understood it, thats what matters...
This video is really really informative to the point where it's actually entertaining! I looked at the high pressure and low pressure areas and looked at them like gears or screws in a supercharger moving the air along. Now I see how the winds aloft are generated and how you can take advantage of a deviation to get there faster! So cool! Thank you!
What a vividly explanatory Weather seminar. I wish I could be on his class for this part most boring and hard to understanding section out of all the other aviation topic, He made far more interesting and even funny. Great very talented instructor.
Lovely video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (search on google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for how to get pilot license minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got amazing success with it.
what a presentation even six years later. This was very very helpful. I wish you my instructor. THANK YOU MAN. I REALIZED MY DREAMS TO JOIN FLIGHT SCHOOL AND I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP EVEN IF IT SEEMS DIFFICULT.
Watching this in Dec 2020 listening to the ADS-B conversation, thinking back with nostalgia about the 'before-times' when receiving traffic and weather info digitally was the most of our concerns...
@@WalterAviationInc Found this prepping for IFR checkride and it helped tremendously, now prepping for Commercial checkride tomorrow and found my way back, thank you!
I'm glad that individual asked the question about how high humidity equals lower air density. I didn't realize that water vapor is lighter than air! Knowing that makes more sense now.
Was in ATC school and learned aviation weather from a book (not helpful at all). Thanks to your video I’m actually starting to connect the dots and makes sense of things.
Route 2 and Route 3 info is incorrect. Route 2 should take less time and an increase in GS. Route 3 will take longer, with a decrease in GS. You are correct in bringing up the thought, that the airmass is moving, and that those High/Low Pressures may or may not be there, when you get there. Excellent info...refresher on av weather before my Instrument checkride in a few days.
Great video easy explanations to follow. The flight services part really helped me know what to look at while receiving the information. The understanding of high and low pressures, and their characteristics really helped me. Definitely helped the confidence level in understanding basic weather trends. I highly recommend this video.
As a student pilot, I found this to be invaluable! Weather is one of those things that was difficult to wrap my head around. Thank you so much for making it clear and easier to understand!
Learned so much from this. as a low hour Recreational VFR pilot in Australia....Not all applies to the Land down under. However the basics really helped. Thanks.
Hello, may be late for a comment, but simply to say that thunderstorms are topped off by anvils *not* because they don't have any more moisture to condense, and *not* because the cloud gets sheared off by a jet steam (although the jet stream can enhance it), but because the updrafts reach the bottom of the stratosphere which is an extremely stable region. You see thunderstorm anvils in the tropics all the time, where there is never any jet stream.
This is a great video. Very informational. As a former Air Traffic Controller you are absolutely right about the controllers are there to ensure your safety and there to help. If someone isn’t comfortable with talking to ATC practice practice practice because nothing is scarier for a Controller and other pilots around when someone comes into an airspace that isn’t familiar with using the radio or just fails to make simple radio calls.
Whoever could understand the flight information briefing voice has solid foundation skills in the afterlife electronic transcommunications professional field! :D
Going in for my PPL checkride in a couple days, this has been a huge help! Thank you so much! My CRI kinda dropped the ball when explaining weather, and this has more than made up for it.
it was really informative. even if I'm not a real pilot (i'm a SIMulator pilot) I 've found this video really really useful. As I m flying in europe (france) I do not find such detailed weather charts 😧.
Terrific video, covers a lot of ground. For me this represents a real breakthrough in understanding hi/lo pressure areas. Also the practical tips like walking us newbies through Flight Services call are really great. My only suggestion: now that ForeFlight is so good and so universal, it would be great to compare/contrast the resources in the App with other weather chart resources. Thanks very much for producing this.
Thanks! We would really like to update this video with a newer version. Foreflight would be a great tool to use with it, definitely! We will be posting new safety seminar videos this Spring, so if we don't cover weather, be sure to check out our other topics!
Thank you Jon for your incredibly clear teaching! It has helped me more than anything else! I got my ticket in 1969 and now I am finally getting the overall weather picture from you. Thank you so much. Dean
Atmospheric gasses are not single molecules but usually pairs or triple molecules O2, N2 and H2O. Water vapor H-O-H weighs less than O-O or N-N but takes up as much space hence lower density.

Far from boring weather is fascinating and an understanding of it could save your life on an xc
Very good, I’m a commercial student in final stages of checkride prep and this is top notch real world Weather instruction
Well, I learned something new with this…….the fact that the anvil of a thunderstorm is the jet stream! How cool!!!

I can't tell everyone how much this video cleared up all of my questions. Great video!
I have learnt wayyyyy more on this video in 4 days than I did in the last year doing cpl and ppl ground school. Great job!!
Watched this for my private ride. Back again for Instrument! Laughed so hard at “its nice everywhere except for Delaware” rip Delaware
Back again for commercial
Best presentation on weather I have ever seen
The narrator is truly a great teacher. Much better than those from my university! God bless
Thanks!
Got my Meteorology final in 6hrs and I'm wishing I had watched this sooner. Everything is making much more sense now!
Absolutely amazing job learned more from this vid then 3 books and 2 lessons combined
Its 2022, I have my instrument check ride in a week and this is fucking priceless, thank you so much for this.
Hope it helped!!
Amazing, thank you so much for sharing. This has hugely improved my knowledge and airmanship!
I can't imagine a better video than this one. Specific and removes the gray areas. GREAT STUFF!!!!

I just listened to your weather ground school video. You video was awesome.
Great video, very good summary of all weather theory stuff, along with some stuff that isn't said often enough.

Density is mass per vol, water doesn’t actually take up more space the atoms are just lighter
One thing I really wanna get to know is weather. This video does a great job of explanation. I’ll more then likely watch it a couple times
Great vid!!! The humidity part threw me off all the time until now!
Great video! Wonderful refresher! Thank you!
Very lucky they were sitting in a Cessna !!! Imagine a PA 28 it would break in parts within a few seconds.
Good basic stuff worded for the layman. Some good information here.
Idk how I got here but I learned a lot from this video
Thank you
I liked the call to flight services...a thorough explanation of weather along the flight route, what more could you ask for?
Awesome seminar and really helping me prep for my commercial check. Thanks for sharing.
I was watching for like 10 seconds and I already learned something I’ve been wanting to know
This was incredible. Thank you so much
