The Online Flight Weather Briefing Course for VFR Pilots
At the Skyskills Academy, as a VFR pilot, you will learn how to plan your flights with more peace of mind, even in demanding weather conditions. You will feel more confident in your flight planning and your flight decisions because you will learn the necessary skills in our flight weather briefing course for VFR pilots. You alone are responsible for your flight as the Pilot In Command (PIC). No matter how old you are or how much experience you have: you never stop learning in aviation. At the same time, you will find that your beautiful hobby – flying – is even more fun when you know in advance roughly what to expect behind the next hill. We have specialized in creating short and concise content so that you can pick up your daily bite-sized piece of weather knowledge. Everyone has 10 - 15 minutes a day. We also based this on the 1% method. 1% of your time, but at regular intervals, will give you extensive knowledge over time and only costs you a brief moment a day, so you can fully return to your everyday life after this mini-lesson.
