    Hi all, thanks for watching this video! There's a small mistake in the video. 1013 hPa equals 29.92 inches, NOT 22.92! ;)

    Hello. Boeing 777 pilot here. I use these charts every flight, but find that a review of symbology is still useful from time to time. Great review!
  • This is indeed a truly great training video on reading weather charts! It is the best there is from pilot's perspective!  It is so hard to find good and simple resources out there on how to read and understand aviation weather; you so perfectly explained how this can be done and I really learned so much. From someone as myself that has always struggled with reading aviation weather, this training video certainly helped me understand and explained specifically what pilots need to know to be able to read and plan flights with weather charts. Thank you so much for making this video and I look forward to your future videos to learn from. You truly are a great inspiration and an excellent teacher  / trainer for all pilots and controllers!
