Behind the Scenes with ATC
John Krug
As pilots, our perspective of ATC is usually limited to the voice we hear in our headsets. In this workshop, we provide a "behind the scenes" look at the air traffic control system that will give you a greater appreciation of what is happening on the other side of the michrophone. It is essential that we work effectively with controllers and having this perspective will improve your proficiency in this area. . . . continue

Understanding PIREPs
Scott Dennstaedt
Every pilot appreciates the value of PIREPs, however few take the time to issue them. PIREPs are critical to forecasters who are providing weather information for all pilots. Scott Dennstaedt takes you behind the scenes of the Aviation Weather Center and shows you how PIREPs are used to develop and refine area forecasts, AIRMETs and SIGMETs. He also reviews the specific conditions that should always be reported, and walks through the steps to properly file a PIREP (a source of confusion for many pilots). . . . continue

Here's what fellow pilots are saying..
"I have been studying the workshops on this website and I have to say they have been excellent. It is so easy to learn with this method, on the internet. I have picked up so much useful information that never was taught to me during my private training or my Instrument training."
- Greg Ellis

"Looking through
everything you offer at the PilotWorkshops web site, I am convinced
we would have a dramatic decrease in incidents and accidents if
mandatory membership was required to retain your pilot certificate."
- Doug Brown

"This is a really
great program, just what every pilot has waited for. I hope I can
put into practice all of the knowledge presented.
The workshops are like having you own personal tutor. I will be going
back to review it many times in the future."
- Francis R Chmiel

"I am just getting back into flying after a long while out of it. The best things I find are the practical advice and the reassurance of listening to professional and knowledgeable instructors focusing on the very important issues. This leads me to be a lot more circumspect about my attitude and approach to flying than I think I would be 'naturally'."
- Andrew Shearer

"I have found your tactics to be a helpful refresher for me. I
am an ATP rated pilot who has been out of the game for a number of
years and the course is helping me get back in the game."
- Wayne Berg

have these workshop. Very nicely organized and informative."

"I am a new low time pilot and I believe that this style of
learning once only available by hanging out at the airport
talking to the 'old guys' has now been extended across our
country...I really have enjoyed this website/community
so far."
- Donald Smith

info - new or just review - that might just make a difference
someday."
