App Detail » Richard L. Collins' Advanced Winter Weather Flying

App Description

Strap into a Cessna P210 & Cardinal RG with weather flying expert Richard L. Collins and learn all about winter weather flying in this exciting video-based classic – now available as an app. With over 100 minutes of expert weather instruction shot in and around airplanes, you’ll go beyond the basics to learn how to apply weather theory to real-world situations. You’ll go on actual flights with Collins to explore the relationship between forecast weather and real conditions, and how complex weather systems affect the airplane.

Also included is a review quiz based on content from the videos. After finishing the questions, you’ll receive instant feedback on your score and be able to review missed questions. There’s even a way to quickly review the video segment from which the question is based.
