I attended a course at Exeter a few years back and the attendee's were all levels of Pilot experience and I fitted in within the middle to lower band! The course was totally ruined by a small number of so say "superior pilots " or at least they thought they were! who just wanted to take every opportunity possible to recount experiences of bravery ( many would say stupidity! ) when faced with weather experiences!
The course Tutors ( employed by the Met Office ) had no idea how to control these morons and unfortunately the attendee's were not together long enough to take up a united front so supreme they ruled!
I came away knowing little or nothing and £200+ lighter! It still hurts to this day as it was my worst expenditure to date in Aviation!
I later wrote to the Met Office voicing my disapproval and they didn't even bother to reply so that spoke volumes for me!
Has Steve has said, IMHO weather web and Simon Keeling is your man! It could well be your best saving in Aviation!
