E-Flight Club Nights presents....
The story behind your weather bulletin - directly from the KNMI experts who create it
🗓️ October 27, Doors open: 19:00, start 19:30.
Imagine: you're planning a beautiful VFR flight and thanks to the weather bulletin you know what to expect on your specific route. You understand why the METAR shows certain information and how you can use it optimally. How does that weather bulletin actually come about? And how do you ensure you get maximum benefit from it as a pilot?
On October 27 you'll get the answers directly from the people who create your weather bulletin.
Helga van der Vegt-Vuist has a unique dual role: meteorologist at KNMI and meteorology instructor at KLM Flight Academy. She not only knows how the weather bulletin is created, but also exactly how pilots can optimally use the information for safe and efficient flight decisions. Daily she teaches future KLM pilots how to interpret the weather - now she's sharing that knowledge with our association.
Together with Rini Hoevenaren, Helga takes you behind the scenes of the Weather Bulletin for General Aviation. Rini is Senior Aviation Meteorologist at KNMI and Meteorological Advisor for Schiphol - he knows better than anyone how weather information is optimally used for safe and efficient aviation. How does that forecast you base your flight on come about? What data flows together? And how do you get maximum benefit from it?
This won't be a dry theory lesson - Helga understands like no other which meteorological knowledge is crucial for all types of pilots. From interpreting weather charts to recognizing dangerous situations that aren't immediately obvious.
And there's room for your questions! Local weather patterns, specific flight situations, or how you can use weather information even better - everything can be discussed.
For all pilots who want to improve their weather briefing skills. For experienced pilots who want to learn the finer points. For instructors who want to pass on advanced meteorological knowledge to their students.
