Flying Alaska 2021 (Part 2) - Weather & Final Prep

Post by waynemcc999 »


Adapting for weather as appropriate, this week we’re off to Alaska! For the geographies we’ll cross, our weather analysis will prioritize visibility and ceilings, possible icing conditions, and of course summer thunderstorms. First a brief discussion of the weather tools we use… Windy for mid-term forecasts, FAA WeatherCams for current local conditions, and ForeFlight for full, formal briefings. In this episode we’ll focus on the first few flight legs northbound, with snapshots at 7 days out and 3 days out. Bill, Joe and I are super excited about this new adventure… and we hope you’ll join us onboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot
