Making Well-informed Weather Decisions There's access to more aviation weather information than ever before, but how well do you understand the capabilities and limitations of the equipment you’re using and the information it provides? Our latest Fly Safe topic covers how pilots can use available weather resources to make more well-informed decisions. Learn more at medium.com/faa/in-flight-weather-resources-c25ba46d2e5e. Why Was My Student’s Practical Test Cancelled? Flight students are frequently being turned away from their practical tests due to qualification and aircraft airworthiness issues, adding to an already backlogged process. We spoke with FAA inspectors and pilot examiners to learn more about some of the most common checkride day errors, like not meeting flight time requirements for the solo cross-country flight. In the FAA Safety Briefing article, “Why Was My Student’s Practical Test Cancelled?” online at medium.com/faa/why-was-my-students-practical-test-canceled-7e2e60eed4e3, we provide flight instructors with several tips to make sure their students don't get turned away on the day of the practical test due to eligibility issues or an unairworthy aircraft.
