Weather can play a huge factor in any pilots pre-flight planning and actual flight. Weather is a complex subject that can affect an aircraft’s performance, ability to generate lift, along with many other things. From the subtle forming of clouds, to thunderstorms and microbursts, how can you stay safe in the air?

San Carlos Flight Center invites CFI Nathanial Green to cover the topic of weather theory. In this seminar he will provide a general outlook on weather and how it is created, how the coriolis effect affects weather, how to detect adverse weather patterns, fog, and much more.  Be more confident on your next flight knowing that you have made the right decisions for your flight.

If you have ever had difficulties trying to grasp the complexities of weather, then this is the seminar for you.

Nathaniel Green is a CFI at San Carlos Flight Center. He attended Utah Valley University where he completed all his training and certificates, graduating with a Bachelors in Aviation Science. Nathaniel finds flying to be one of the most exhilarating and challenging decisions one can choose. Nathaniel is beyond excited to take students through a similar journey of learning how to fly and becoming a pilot.
