Ep 119 - Weather Forecasts and Navigating the Wet Season
Understanding weather predictions and utilizing them for flight preparation is one aspect, yet managing weather conditions in-flight is entirely different. Having ample experience aids in making sound judgments. Nevertheless, making inadequate decisions can subject pilots to heightened stress levels and potential disasters. In this episode, I will delve into the necessary forecast considerations for flight planning and subsequently explore a scenario set in Darwin's wet season, highlighting the potential consequences of our choices.

Customer Reviews
What an amazing resource for information!
I’ve been listening for about 6 months, and 2 months ago started my training for an RPC certificate, but I do plan on heading into a GA role long term, Trents information and knowledge is invaluable and listening to it has inspired me to pursue a career into an industry I once thought I could never thought I could do!
Happy I found this show
As a complete aviation newbie and mere enthusiast, I am really happy I’ve found local (being Aussie) aviation show. Trent really offers some deep knowledge, combined with good facts and interesting guests. I also like the accidents reports and how could have been avoided or done better. Needless to say I am on listening spree for all episodes since the first one.
Highly recommended it, even though I’ve never set foot in an airplane…yet!
Best aviation podcast out there
Love the podcast and the effort put in to explain scenarios, situations and experiences. Understanding WHY things are done the way they are gives far more depth than what you can get from any text book.
Many episodes have answered questions I’ve had during my flight training, and I’m a safer pilot because of it!
Keep up the great work Trent!
