Last week the 7-day UK regional forecast went live, which is proving useful for folks putting together their plan for the week ahead.
Particularly useful if you have multiple flights to plan – which was the discussion at the Barton Pilots’ Curry on Sunday.
Of course the current forecast regions are huge:
I know the training areas pretty well having trained for PPL through IMCR with LAC Flying School, SEIR with Westair, then MEIR/CPL with Ravenair.
I defined the following training regions for which forecasts will be created (naming conventions are mine, not official):
That pretty much covers where a lesson will get you.
The forecast is live here.
Caveats:
- Still debugging it and teaching the AI some lessons so bear with me
- Some IR lessons go further in search of a friendly airport which will give you an IR approach
- Airspace is not shown because this tool informs your flight planning you do using regulated sources
- Forecasts are always wrong, so obviously don’t use this weekly forecast as your only pre-flight planning tool
