UK Weather Training Courses
 

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.

Gary

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

Count me in ! :D

sounds cool

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

Yes please, VeeAny.

Redhill-based but prepared to travel.

:ok:

V interested prefer South Central

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

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!

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

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.

V,
Me three!

Gary

Add me to your list please.

Ian.

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

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:

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

I'd be interested in that.

Also interested potentially, depending on dates and cost.

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

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

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

Joel

Definately interested, depending on dates/area.

Simon

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

Yep, me too Gary.

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

VfrpilotPb/2:ok:

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

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

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

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

BW

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

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