UK Weather Training Courses

[VeeAny]

Related to the helicopter safety evenings, I am talking to the Met Office about running some aviation weather interpretation course for helicopters pilots.

Can we have a show of hands, so I can see if there is enough demand for them to put the course on. They will be chargeable and I need to give them an idea of group size(s) so they can give me an idea of cost.

It'll probably be cheaper if we go to Exeter, but I will try and persuade them to come out to a more central location also.

appreciate what you said about the cost... but would be helpfull if you could give a rough idea as that will determin numbers too.

I suspect many people would be interested though?

MADY

[LZCUTTER]

Count me in ! :D

[DeltaNg]

sounds cool

[Clitheroe Kid]

Me too. Would prefer the North West, but will travel.

[DBChopper]

Yes please, VeeAny.

Redhill-based but prepared to travel.

:ok:

[cholmondeley]

V interested prefer South Central

[Ioan]

I'm up for it. Midlands area would be easiest for me. Nice one for organising it

[Whirlygig]

In theory, I would also be keen but Exeter would be pretty tricky from Norfolk, even if I flew down. Actually, I reckon I could drive it in less time than it would take me in a Schweizer!!!

Just hope that the nice man from the Met Office could be persuaded somewhere more central!

Cheers

You can never learn enough about weather, count me in.

[Whirlybird]

I agree that you can never learn enough about weather. Count me in...but only if it's within a couple of hours drive of the Midlands; don't have time to go to Exeter or similar.

[Sgtfrog]

V,
Me three!

Gary

Add me to your list please.

Ian.

[Pandalet]

I'm interested, but cost and location will be the final determiners for me, unfortunately.

[HeliCraig]

Gary dependent on exact date / time / cost / location you can count me in!

Especially after yesterdays bizarre weather - knowledge is power and all that. :cool:

[Helinut]

At slight risk of thread creep, I am looking for a decent weather station (not specifically for aviation use). Does anyone have any recommendations.........?

[kneedwondean]

I'd be interested in that.

[McBad]

Also interested potentially, depending on dates and cost.

M.

(Prefer Gloucester or Cardiff but could do Exeter at a pinch.)

[ManOnTheSticks]

Got my interest too! Exeter preferred but willing to travel.

[JTobias]

I'm in, would also prefer North West but will travel.

Joel

[SFW68]

Definately interested, depending on dates/area.

Simon

[Brilliant Stuff]

We use the Vantage Pro2 and a Ceilometer and Vizmeter at the office yet still last nights weather was rather confusing.

[KNIEVEL77]

Yep, me too Gary.

[VfrpilotPB/2]

Yep me too, .... I would however suggest EGNH, almost Central to the land mass of GB!

VfrpilotPb/2:ok:

[Bertie Thruster]

Invest £1k in a modern automatic weather station that can transmit a reading of all parameters indoors to your pc, say, every ten minutes (like mine).

Alternatively (and much more cheaply) just go outside and have a look.

[Helizoom1]

Count me in...Surrey area would be good!

[Ms Squirrel]

Good idea, and to quote the old adage..... "you don't know what you don't know"

[bladewashout]

Count me in, travelling from south of the Luton zone.

BW

[JBL99]

Gary, I'd be up for this too and Exeter is fine with me !

[teeseetoo]

Please count me in. Midlands would be nice but willing to travel further.
