I bet this guy never thought that this much people would have learned about weather through this video. And I know a lot more students and instructors are going to be stopping by to watch this. Thanks for helping thousands of pilots!

Learned more from this video than from an entire semester of aviation weather in college. Great job Jon!

I cannot thank Jonathan enough for making this video. I have seriously struggled putting all the pieces of weather together until I watched this brilliant video. Jonathan’s an amazing instructor.

So much better than reading the book. I watch this pretty often.

Learned more from this video than 2 years of flying and studying

private pilot checkride in 2 days..... this was incredibly helpful!

I saved this video to my favorites and ever once a while I come back for a review. Thanks for your work.

what a presentation even six years later. This was very very helpful. I wish you my instructor. THANK YOU MAN. I REALIZED MY DREAMS TO JOIN FLIGHT SCHOOL AND I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP EVEN IF IT SEEMS DIFFICULT.

What a vividly explanatory Weather seminar. I wish I could be on his class for this part most boring and hard to understanding section out of all the other aviation topic, He made far more interesting and even funny. Great very talented instructor.

Very good, I’m a commercial student in final stages of checkride prep and this is top notch real world Weather instruction

Probably the best aviation weather video I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you.

We had GS of 700kts going to SFO from Japan, coming back it's like standing still. Our TAS505kt,ISA. Truly enjoyed your lessons.

I loved the story with the bent struts. WOW! They're lucky to be alive. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.

I can't tell everyone how much this video cleared up all of my questions. Great video!

I have learnt wayyyyy more on this video in 4 days than I did in the last year doing cpl and ppl ground school. Great job!!

The narrator is truly a great teacher. Much better than those from my university! God bless

Best presentation on weather I have ever seen

Well, I learned something new with this…….the fact that the anvil of a thunderstorm is the jet stream! How cool!!!

Got my Meteorology final in 6hrs and I'm wishing I had watched this sooner. Everything is making much more sense now!

I can't imagine a better video than this one. Specific and removes the gray areas. GREAT STUFF!!!!

As a student pilot, I found this to be invaluable! Weather is one of those things that was difficult to wrap my head around. Thank you so much for making it clear and easier to understand!

I fell asleep watching a different video and I woke up in the middle of this ground lesson :)

just completed the sportys learn to fly program, this was explained so much better and in easier to understand terms for someone learning to fly.

Amazing, thank you so much for sharing. This has hugely improved my knowledge and airmanship!

BRB. Listening to this 27 more times.

Watched this for my private ride. Back again for Instrument! Laughed so hard at “its nice everywhere except for Delaware” rip Delaware

Watching this in Dec 2020 listening to the ADS-B conversation, thinking back with nostalgia about the 'before-times' when receiving traffic and weather info digitally was the most of our concerns...

I'm glad that individual asked the question about how high humidity equals lower air density. I didn't realize that water vapor is lighter than air! Knowing that makes more sense now.

Was in ATC school and learned aviation weather from a book (not helpful at all). Thanks to your video I’m actually starting to connect the dots and makes sense of things.

Thank you Jonathan for a very accessible seminar on weather. I found it very practical and refreshingly understandable.well done!

Instrument checkride this wednesday and found this tressure right on time. Love it. add a thanks button. I will donate or send $$. thanks for this

Absolutely amazing job learned more from this vid then 3 books and 2 lessons combined

Its 2022, I have my instrument check ride in a week and this is fucking priceless, thank you so much for this.

This is fantastic! THANK YOU! Your module tied together 3 other ground schools for me and cemented it all together. I really appreciate finding this!

Idk how I got here but I learned a lot from this video

Thank you! I'm taking my part 107 (UAS) in a few weeks and weather is my weak spot!

You need to have an updated video because this was by far the best resource on weather and surface charts!

Albuquerque here. Glad you like our ATC! Great video thanks

The best and easy-to-hear wx explanation ever for sure, really good tips. Thanks!

I was a Master Instructor at the DoD's Weather Training Division, for eight years. I had a total of 33 years of aviation weather experience. I planned, designed, and wrote a 210 page manual on aviation meteorology, accepted for use by the Federal Aviation Administration, designed specifically to train flight dispatchers. It was called an "EWINS", or Enhanced Weather Information System. I watched this training...not bad, but it could be hugely improved.

great one!!! cheers from a German Aviation student!!

I was watching for like 10 seconds and I already learned something I’ve been wanting to know

Thank you Jon for your incredibly clear teaching! It has helped me more than anything else! I got my ticket in 1969 and now I am finally getting the overall weather picture from you. Thank you so much. Dean

Jonathan - Fantastic class. Very helpful explanation of basic weather concepts and how it comes together for flight planning. Thank you!!

unbelievable job at explaining this man, so happy i found this!

This is a great video. Very informational. As a former Air Traffic Controller you are absolutely right about the controllers are there to ensure your safety and there to help. If someone isn’t comfortable with talking to ATC practice practice practice because nothing is scarier for a Controller and other pilots around when someone comes into an airspace that isn’t familiar with using the radio or just fails to make simple radio calls.

Route 2 and Route 3 info is incorrect. Route 2 should take less time and an increase in GS. Route 3 will take longer, with a decrease in GS. You are correct in bringing up the thought, that the airmass is moving, and that those High/Low Pressures may or may not be there, when you get there. Excellent info...refresher on av weather before my Instrument checkride in a few days.

Great video easy explanations to follow. The flight services part really helped me know what to look at while receiving the information. The understanding of high and low pressures, and their characteristics really helped me. Definitely helped the confidence level in understanding basic weather trends. I highly recommend this video.

Thanks. Things are starting to clear up!

Thank you, Mr Walter, for an excellent presentation on aviation weather. Thank you for making it interesting and fun !

Learned so much from this. as a low hour Recreational VFR pilot in Australia....Not all applies to the Land down under. However the basics really helped. Thanks.

I learned so much and the guy is a great teacher.

Impressive amount of information per time without getting cluttered

Listening to this in 2021, kinda crazy hearing y'all talk about ADS-B in the future tense

Thank you for sharing this and making this valuable knowledge publicly available.

thank you for a great presentation and for helping me understand these topics better

Well done, informative, and sometimes even funny. So glad I came across this video during my test prep.

I listened to the entire lesson. Thanks much! ✈️💜✈️💜✈️

Best weather video I've found! So glad I came across this one. Thank you!!

excellent video. i am getting back into flying after several years and finally working towards my private pilot ticket. i have had prior training before and this brought back the knowledge of many lessons. this will help save money in the long run.

Great video, very good summary of all weather theory stuff, along with some stuff that isn't said often enough.

I appreciated this video! Thank you for your time!

One thing I really wanna get to know is weather. This video does a great job of explanation. I’ll more then likely watch it a couple times

IFR Checkride in a couple of weeks. I’m 12 minutes in and it’s been great so far

BEST AVIATION WEATHER VIDEO! ties the rote knowlege into understanding and application. Its kinda funny too

Great vid!!! The humidity part threw me off all the time until now!

I just listened to your weather ground school video. You video was awesome.

You are a legend, thank you for sharing that.

Going in for my PPL checkride in a couple days, this has been a huge help! Thank you so much! My CRI kinda dropped the ball when explaining weather, and this has more than made up for it.

Density is mass per vol, water doesn’t actually take up more space the atoms are just lighter

Terrific video, covers a lot of ground. For me this represents a real breakthrough in understanding hi/lo pressure areas. Also the practical tips like walking us newbies through Flight Services call are really great. My only suggestion: now that ForeFlight is so good and so universal, it would be great to compare/contrast the resources in the App with other weather chart resources. Thanks very much for producing this.

Best Aviation weather presentation I have seen. I will be sure to watch again and again. Thank You!

*Wait a minute... HOW DID THIS GET IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS?!?!?!?!*

This would be so much better if I could see what he’s pointing at when he says “this” or “here”. He needs a cursor on the screen.

fantastic speaker, I learned a lot listening to your talk, thanks much

Whoever could understand the flight information briefing voice has solid foundation skills in the afterlife electronic transcommunications professional field! :D

Such a great video. I watched this while working on my PPL and now I instruct and I'm sending it to all of my students.

This cleared up some items that were confusing to me and built a better "big picture" perspective than what I had before watching. My only criticisms are 1 - when public speaking always repeat the question. It's good for people in the audience as well as the people that watch it here. 2 - (not really a criticism) I wanted more information. There are still some things from the POH that weren't discussed that still confuse me. Great job and hope to see more!

Thank you! Great for learning or for review.

Thank you

Awesome seminar and really helping me prep for my commercial check. Thanks for sharing.

Good basic stuff worded for the layman. Some good information here.

that dude laughing in the background lmao

Great video! Wonderful refresher! Thank you!

Atmospheric gasses are not single molecules but usually pairs or triple molecules O2, N2 and H2O. Water vapor H-O-H weighs less than O-O or N-N but takes up as much space hence lower density.

Hello, may be late for a comment, but simply to say that thunderstorms are topped off by anvils *not* because they don't have any more moisture to condense, and *not* because the cloud gets sheared off by a jet steam (although the jet stream can enhance it), but because the updrafts reach the bottom of the stratosphere which is an extremely stable region. You see thunderstorm anvils in the tropics all the time, where there is never any jet stream.

Super helpful refresher, thank you!

Great bit of information - Thank you!

Wow! I learned a lot from this video, no wonder it's approaching a million views. Excellent!

Thank you for the video, i was refreshing my dispatch knowledge and it did help. Greetings from Egypt.

Great job. Love the guys laughing. I learned a lot too. Perfect

This was the best weather explanation I've gotten. I actually found it interesting

so sad this info is for free he did the best weather job i ever seen in my life

it was really informative. even if I'm not a real pilot (i'm a SIMulator pilot) I 've found this video really really useful. As I m flying in europe (france) I do not find such detailed weather charts 😧.

Thanx a 1 000 000, 4 the video. I understand much more about flying.

I don't understand the segment from 40:00-44:00 minutes. How is it beneficial to pick option 3? That option goes against the direction of the winds around the high and low pressure systems. Can anyone explain?

Congrats on the seminar, all the way down from Brazil!

Thank you guys great lession still lots to learn

Great presentation, clarified a lot of things for me that I was still confused about. I’m getting ready for the written and check ride in the next month. Thank you.

Very lucky they were sitting in a Cessna !!! Imagine a PA 28 it would break in parts within a few seconds.
