I'm doing a panel upgrade (low budget) to my Cessna 340. The wx-500 stormscope is inop. I have analyzed the error messages and it points to the processor (box). I contacted L3 and it is $650 to bench test it and then $1800 to repair it regardless of the problem. That seems a little steep to...

Hello all. I am a whopping 9hrs into training and loving it. I fly in SE Virginia and my CFI is constantly cancelling due to winds. Most make sense even to my untrained weather sense. He is fantastic, I am learning a ton. I am just curious if he is being overly cautious. I dont know enough...

POA, Besides the FAA book on weather, can any of you recommend a resource on weather for the VFR pilot in terms of just having a better understanding of planning, conditions that could change weather - just basic overall better education on the subject - that you might recommend either through...

I proposed to our local NWS site a TAF view like this one that we can get for normal weather. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.691&lon=-91.6007&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical This would be in addition to the current product. It would not replace it in any way. The benefit...

I have a panel which has a 430w linked to an MX-20 (installed right before Garmin aquired), with chartview and WSI weather. It has served me extremely well, but the MFD is no longer reliable (screen issues mostly), and Garmin no longer supports/repairs the unit. Replacing the panel display is...

I wanted to just get a feel as to what other VFR pilots are using. Other than contacting 122.2 for weather briefing, what are some setups that you have for weather? Are you most of you using Stratus and Foreflight? Also, I was curious about the Garmin portable GPS/Weather systems - Yeah I...

So i built this website, mostly for myself, so I could check the general weather conditions throughout the day and before flights. I included all of the links that I typically use on ADDS/aviationweather.gov. What would you guys add to this site? BE AS BRUTALLY HONEST AS YOU WANT TO BE. I...

I am interested in completing my flight training to be a commercial pilot in Chicago. I will have a PPL and Instrument Course completed by the time of the move. I was wondering what impact the weather and flight traffic will have on my ability to complete my hours in a reasonable time frame.

So from my understanding, the constant pressure chart gives a 12 hour forecast of weather conditions at different altitudes. It shows areas of maximum Vorticity, relative humidity, and wind speeds. As of right now there is a massive frontal system moving west to east across the entire country...
