Joe Calderone from the National Weather Service (NOAA) will discuss how the NWS supports aviation at the national, regional, and local levels. He'll explain the different aviation weather services available, where to find forecasts and other weather products, and how these resources can assist pilots with flight planning.

The presentation will also cover common aviation weather hazards, including icing, thunderstorms, lightning, hail, wind shear, turbulence, and low ceilings and visibility. Joe will share examples and discuss how to recognize and avoid these conditions.
