Understand the weather

So just a quick tip for you who are just starting out. If you are starting your air lessons now, you should have a good understanding of the weather and how stuff happens it meteorology.

I spent all day planning my long cross country only to find out that the next Taf comes out and won't allow you to go. Sometimes you have to be patient and when you do, the weather still doesn't always work out for you. Got to look at the surface analysis, and GFA's and predict whats going to happen. Look at the Temperature Dewpoint spread, and points along your route.

You also have to be patient. The weather may clear up, it may not.
