WEATHER PREP FOR PRIVATE PILOT CHECKRIDE

Flight instructors and students wanted a video that would teach weather prep for the private pilot practical. This video explains some of the most important parts of aviation weather. If you're a student, this will help with your checkride. If you're a veteran, you can use this video as a refresher. If you're an instructor, please feel free to share and use with your students. My goal is to help improve the safety of general aviation through education. #checkride #aviationweather #meteorology #private pilot #weather #jpdice

Nothing better than a long video with someone who knows what they're talking about and can teach it so people like me can understand 😂

[@aronhalt]

For two years I’ve taken courses, read everything I could find, watched everything I could find as I train for my PPL and this is the best video I’ve found on the weather aspects. You’ve covered 3 Sporty’s videos in one simple and easy to follow video. Nice work.

[@mattg1847]

You definitely have the cadence and tone of a meteorologist, I love it! I have my PPL checkride coming up, and this video was extremely helpful. Thank you and blue skies!

[@ryanwhipkey3045]

Great video! Im a week out from my checkride and weather is my biggest struggle. this video breaks things down perfectly thanks!

[@MediosCorporativos]

Thank you creating a real instructional video. No ads no distraction and someone who knows his stuff. Again thank you so much.

[@shyammohabir8283]

Thanks for sharing - Weather fascinates me .. Been a private pilot for more that 4 decades, this was really a nice refresher on Weather! Those thermals .. are amaizing!!

[@newwwwbbss]

Why doesn't this guy have more subs? Some online course like Sporty's or King should hire him

[@jorgeetrevino6790]

Excellent presentation

[@Ruth53197]

Love your teaching of weather, you actually made it interesting beyond just need to know for your ppl, thanks so much!

[@justingrind1908]

I’m prepping for my checkride and honestly weather has been dry to read about. Enjoyed your presentation and making it interesting!

[@Aspire_xo]

Hey man don’t know if you still check comments but thank you this was a lifesaver

[@user-wo8uz5lo3y]

Check ride is coming up this week. This was super valuable! Thank you so much!

[@mattassenmacher495]

how’d you do man! i have mine coming up in just about a month!

[@ryankelley85091]

I learned a lot. Thanks for the presentation. My checkride is coming up, wish me luck.

[@roccomcdonald5778]

Really appreciate how you explain this with the relatable images & text. By far the most concise and well articulated video on the subject I’ve seen so far. Definitely shows you’re a pro at this. Thanks again for sharing, absolutely priceless.

[@LaurynGlasgow]

The best weatherman that is still standing ❤️

[@brianmorrison1344]

I was watching this video on break at work, and I’m in the charlotte are. One of my co-workers blared out, "who is watching that video, I know that voice anywhere". he said he use to watch him on the news back home in Alabama. That’s JR (forgot what he said was the last name) That's the only weather man I could ever trust. Thank you for the presentation, I’ve watch all your videos, and really appreciate the breakdown.

[@jacobknaggs2919]

Checkride in two weeks, this video helped a ton. Best weather video i've ever watched.

[@stephaniebaker7329]

I’ve been looking for a video like this-I love the more in-depth explanation videos, and I feel like PPL ground school gives such a bare-minimum overview of weather. Thank you!

[@MadelineVail]

First educational weather video over three minutes that I haven't fallen asleep to. :) Thank you!

[@joelneuman2332]

Great summary!! Thank you Thank you, Joel Neuman, CFI, AGI

[@suhailajami8722]

This video was phenomenal! Great job explaining all the charts and data I wasn't familiar with. Will recommend this video to anyone

[@boomerangj]

Wow! Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The effort put in to create this video is evident!

[@interiorfoliagedesign8912]

Hey, just wanted to say this was a terrific video for ppl check ride prep. Really helped me understand a lot of concepts that were otherwise fuzzy for me. Will have to rewatch a couple of times to really let it sink in. Thanks for all the hard work in putting this together.

[@viccabrales3091]

What an amazingly informative presentation! Very well produced and excellent cadence with easily digestible material. Thank you Sir!

[@edwardchuss872]

This is the best plain English presentation on weather I’ve ever seen. Pure gold! Thanks for putting this together.

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

Excellent presentation. Thank you. First time in my life I listened to a meteorologist in its entirety. lol

[@zappatx]

WOW!! This is incredible!! Serves as a great primer for the meteorology book I got from the university book store.

[@husalah2010]

You earned my subscribe. Thank you.

[@carlsonlemos9927]

Excellent presentation Sir! I'm an volunteer Air Observer for the Coast Guard Auxiliary and also a Private Pilot Student on a Cessna 172, getting ready for my ASEL checkride in June. Your presentation help me a lot to understand the weather. I really appreciate it!

Best review by far.

[@GameDragonMedia]

So good, thanks a lot!

[@benmoster9965]

Informative and much easier to put to memory than what I've been reading, thanks J-P!

[@ViperDriver22]

This is one of the best uploads ever. Thank you for sharing!!

[@steakeat99]

great video

[@keithhoward9238]

Amazing informative weather training video.

[@BenBaranovsky]

I watched this video once before and already hit "thumbs up", so this time I feel I have to leave a comment saying thanks. Great checkride prep! One question I have is what answer to give the DPE when he/she asks, "where did you get your weather briefing?" and my answer is "ForeFlight". I suppose I should list the official sources used by FF.

[@rgardner922]

Another fantastic aviation weather video.

[@kushagramittal4275]

Amazing video, thank you sir.

[@paulcrooks9573]

Thanks cause I didn't know where to look for this information

[@GroundedAeronautic]

Great video! I really appreciated how you explained where weather observations/forecasts come from and also how ASOS/AWOS systems work. I had never heard of the GOES-R satellite either, very interesting information in that segment as well. Thanks!

[@natalylooper-mcintosh4121]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was informative and most importantly, understandable.

[@blueskies8710]

Super informative, taking my ppl checkride in 1 month so this is very helpful! wish me luck

[@cagarber]

Thank you! this is helping me tremendously. wish i had seen this before I failed my oral :/ Great stuff !

[@Hirnilein0815]

Thank you very much for this overview. Very informative and easy to follow.

[@abdullmoh3414]

Thanks

[@pilot3058]

Thank you so much for sharing, I wish I had it before when I was getting my private. TONS of valuable information, thank you for your time in putting this together 🙏

[@brycegibb8919]

Such good and concise wx information ...good job !

[@TridentCapital]

Fantastic explanations. Very helpful!

[@joshuahunter2825]

This is great. Scheduled my checkride Oct 25th

[@Gluogie]

found my new favorite KZbin video

[@ryanandrews5255]

Very good linking to my fellow private students

[@SafakSahin]

one of the best weather training for new pilots, many confusing topics got cleared away, i hope you make a buck or two in the mean time.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

More than, or at least in addition to, baud rate, METAR is coded so that it can be more easily understood by automated systems. People can learn to read coded information, but computers until VERY recently have always had a lot of trouble reading "plain english"

[@nickspradley508]

Been following you since you were a meteorologist in Bham. I didnt realize you had a KZbin channel but now I am a subscriber.

[@joshuahunter2825]

That is my phase, you don't know what you don't know. I started in Nov 2021, I didn't know what is an aileron, about to do my checkride. As I learned there was more on each subject. Thanks for the video on weather

[@piperdakotaflyr]

Just found your channel. It’s great. I have my check ride next Friday. You are a big help pulling it all together. 🛫

[@NWAandDALvirtual]

How did you do?

[@piperdakotaflyr]

@@NWAandDALvirtual I passed on Saturday. Thanks for asking. 😊🛫

[@JoeMagarelli-fx6ft]

totally random question but where is that map you have behind you from? it's so cool!!! is the lights symbolic for VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR???

[@dsrduff]

Amazing post, thank you for posting. Where can I get one of those light up maps?

[@AustinMinter]

Thanks for this video! Where did you get your U.S. map that is behind you?

[@kimberlymershon6194]

Excellent information for pilots. Thanks for sharing!

[@doppler19]

Thanks Kimberly! Feel free to share.

[@kimberlymershon6194]

James-Paul Dice it’s going to be a go-to for my private students...

[@ronniethepilot]

Hello i just watched a video on weather that you made like 2 years ago and I am not sure if this is an update to that but the video was amazing. Is it possible that you can write me back and tell me in simple terms what is airmets and sigmets,and convective and explain low pressure and high pressure systems and cold fronts etc Thanks again

[@brucepayne928]

Thanks! Very informative and timely for me. Thanks for all you do!

[@ele4853]

Minute 6:19 " wind direction is in magnetic heading" NO it is presented in True Heading.

[@Deanjacob7]

Wish I saw this last month when I was up all night freaking out about weather. Luckily my examiner barely discussed weather just the requirements. Ps. It’s my birthday today 21🥳

[@user-jh5fm7ci6o]

Can you send us that form for the weather. This will make a good checklist for weather. PS, I am a student pilot and I do have minimums.

[@danielmeadnp-c2259]

Where did you get the metar map from? I must have one lol

[@scottharold3140]

Thanks. My check Ride is this week. I am glad I found your video!

[@Notaslave1961]

On cloud height it’s AGL unless it’s a graphical forecast I think they use MSL on those😮

[@toddkallenbach3904]

KORD.....the Orchard

[@davidbronson989]

Although I enjoyed your channel, I wish that you would please use a marker to explain what your looking at on the screen. You audio part of your presentation doesn't do the object on the screen justice. Just imagine you were standing in front of a white board and the student had no idea of where you were looking.

[@dojoswitzer]

How old is your METAR? All I see have the time frame syntax as 0512/0612

[@user-jh5fm7ci6o]

Weather can change in 5 minutes. I have seen it happen.

[@vivek6187]

Why doesn't METAR, TAF and PIREP have same coding sequence or format?

[@seth10261]

I wish I know 5 percent of what he knows ;).

[@sixgradename]

autoplayed after gamerfrommars video

[@joeblowjohndoe206]

Wind is true not magnetic

[@briangoss6766]

Excellent presentation
