Now we get both!

11/12/2025

Made it thru the Fall and as we slip into darkness and winter, Ice Training only for the Mid section of the U.S and North, and the Southern Half can get both!
If you can send me a pic of your Radar set at Zero Tilt and your Altitude.
I am available for training and especially the opportunity to leave the Tundra in Boston.

Thank you for flying like pro's

Have a Great Thanksgiving

Training in the aircraft

10/15/2025

Have had some great training days in the last month. When I get the call to aviate with the owners, I make sure we have some great opportunities to work in the weather without anxiety and distraction from turbulence and ice. My best scenario is a lifted index of 0 to plus 2 and a warm front. There are six levels of weather, and if I have the plus 2 lifted index, I know the stability will allow for smooth air and energy in the atmosphere to limit the cell to a level 3. This is the best for a positive learning experience. The lifted index is the stability of the air at 18,000 ft. The second training Video goes over the understanding. Yeah the Radar is an amazing instrument, but the atmosphere is more amazing. The information that NOAA has made available is truly amazing. Learn the 5 step flow and watch the presentation Video on the radar page.
We will go over the training video's and then the presentation video. Get your questions ready and the mystery of the misunderstood tool in the aircraft will be no more.
Keep the blue side up and the ball centered!!

study up for the KTLH radar class

9/25/2025

Hello everyone
One month to go to the class and want to remind everyone to be sure to review the training videos on the radar page. Video 3 the most important to understanding the secret of Tilt X Range and the Rule of 60. Remember that 15,000 ft is where we want to be able to see the center of the beam on the target. That's the best reflective value of the moisture on the X Band Radars.

The Radar Training PMOPA breakout Video is what I will use for the presentation.

Enjoy
See you at the class
Keep the blue side up!

Radar training coming again to Ktlh october 25 and 26

7/26/2025

RADAR TRAINING AND SYSTEMS CLASS AT FLIGHT LINE GROUP HANGAR IN BEAUTIFUL TALLAHASSEE KTLH COMING OCTOBER 25 AND 26.
ALL WELCOME TO COME AND LIFT YOUR PRACTICAL USE OF YOUR ONBOARD WEATHER RADAR AND A PA46 SYSTEMS CLASS.
THE RADAR CLASS IS DIRECTED TOWARDS ALL ONBOARD RADARS FROM THE BENDIX WX56/58,RDR 2000 SERIES, THE GARMIN LINE FROM GWX 68 THROUGH GWX 8000.
GREAT FOR BARON PILOTS AND THE TURBINE GROUP.

We will be available for inflight training if the weather cooperates

Weather check

5/1/2025

Looking ahead the lifted index this morning is good around plus 1. Stable air at 18,000.
Gtg turbulence looks like a smooth ride and
Freezing level at 12,000 ft without tat increase.
all we need now is a tailwind

New start time friday

5/1/2025

Hi all
new start time for friday morning will be at 11 am, lunch now at 1:00 pm
low vis should give way
see you TOMORROW

TRAINING DAY !

4/28/2025

HELLO EVERYONE,
Thank you so much for signing up for Friday may2,
We will meet at 10 am and go over the training video's , have lunch, then on to the presentation video.
looks like there will be some liquid in the atmosphere, so check out the lifted index in the morning. a plus 2 on the top number will keep the energy from building beyond a level 3. stay on the upwind side and do the 50% gain cut with your beam center pointed at the 15,000 ft level. if your at 15,000 the tilt will be zero, as you descend the tilt will go plus till at about 6000 in the approach phase put the tilt at 10 deg and leave it there to landing. just leave the bearing straight ahead and do the fifty percent gain cuts. if the screen goes black all the moisture is leve2 or less.
CORRELATE the radar and nexrad ranges to back you up on confirming returns vs ground returns. we will learn more about that amazing feature at the lessons.
keep the blue side up and the ball centered.

Tis the Season- Spring Weather Arrives.

4/6/2025

Most of my time in Northeast lately has been planning mostly around ice conditions, now, warm front inversions bring the clear ice to the lower altitudes, with the temps now in the plus 2 to 4 deg on the surface, we are able to use the TAT to land with a clean machine, using the ice profile for speeds.
Yesterday the Radar was. showing returns as we flew from KSFM to KOWD after a lobster roll and chowder at Shane's. Tilt was at plus 10 and we were at 3000 ft for about 20 mins. This was a GWX 8000 Radar. Auto mode just showed us flying thru a blob of weather. As we went to manual mode, always my favorite, even in the Boeing ,we put the Bearing line over the heaviest part of the weather, and then did a Vertical Cut, it showed it was weather, no greater tool on board for the 10 inch antenna to discern ground from weather. We reselected horizontal scan and slid the gain bar to the bottom. That removed all the moderate and light rain from the screen. Fabulous!! A small amount of green remained and as we flew through it you could see the correlation of the rain hitting the windshield to confirm the measurement. Amazing piece of equipment for increasing confidence.
All Radars, RDR from Honeywell, GWX 68 from Garmin, and the fancy no magnetron
GWX 70's and up all operate the exact same way tactically, which is within the 40 nm scale, the 70'S and up can see further and require a different technique outside the 40 nm range to reduce ground returns.
Once you have your Radar calibrated, it is fantastic,
As you practice the 5 step techniques, do it VFR tilting down to create weather returns just to get the flow smooth with your controls.
Best day and keep the blue side up!
