Challenges For Flight Instructors Teaching Weather Information, Robert Thomas, Thomas A. Guinn
Challenges For Flight Instructors Teaching Weather Information, Robert Thomas, Thomas A. Guinn
Aviation Weather Training Research
- Flight Instructors face a challenge when teaching/learning weather information
- Multiple overlapping resources for aviation weather
- AC takes longer timeframe to update –problem for quick updates of information

Publications
Laura Pope Robbins is an advisor for The Charleston Advisor, and the review below is included in Scholarly Commons with the permission of the publisher.
The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the premier Open Access research database for astronomy and astrophysics containing over 13 million bibliographic records. These records include journal articles, books, conference proceedings, historical observatory bulletins, and other gray literature. An exceptional feature of ADS is the visualizations it creates, showing author networks, overlapping citations, and frequently occurring terminology giving researchers new ways to explore the literature. It is a unique resource that is as easy for a …
Effects Of Volcanicity In Iceland, Lilian Njoki Ng'ang'a
Effects Of Volcanicity In Iceland, Lilian Njoki Ng'ang'a
Student Works
Iceland is greatly known for its volcanicity as there are several eruptions that have occurred over the years. The country’s volcanology is due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a divergent tectonic boundary (Promote Iceland, n.d.). Due to this, the country is known to be responsible for a third of all the fresh lava on earth (Marteinn, 2018).
This research provides a deep dive into the effects of volcanicity and how the Icelandic people have adapted to it. The methods used to collect data for this research were secondary sources and interviews. It was evident that the …

General Aviation Weather Display Interpretation
Over the last 30 years, a large percentage of weather-related aviation accidents have occurred under General Aviation (GA) operations (FAA, 2010; Fultz & Ashley, 2016; AOPA, 2008).
- Novice Private Pilots VFR into IMC
- High Risk For Incurring Fatality
Aviation Weather Challenges
- Difficult to interpret Aviation Weather Products
- Pilot's Decision Making Biases and Errors
- GA Pilots' Lack of Aviation Weather Experience
