Flight dispatchers also communicate with pilots and update them about weather, turbulence, and other variables that could affect their flight. So, taking information from multiple sources, such as NOTAMs and SIGMETs, is important. For example, turbulence could result in a simple flight level change or require a new route.

Turbulence: Rough air can make flying uncomfortable or even hazardous if severe. Terrain and NOTAMs Weather isnt the only thing you have to consider. On top of that, you should always check NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) before your flight. What do NOTAMs do? Which aspects of the weather should you watch out for?

Then determine the braking action from the published NOTAM or from airport officials, which uses numerical Condition Codes to identify the conditions. These pilot reports (PIREPs) will provide you with actual temperatures aloft, cloud coverage and tops, and turbulence and icing reports, all packed into just a few lines of data.

These are great for deciding whether you need a jacket tomorrow, but when it comes to aviation weather—looking at thunderstorms, ice, turbulence, visibility and so much more—these apps just aren’t enough. This app is hard to beat for a quick check of multiple METARs and NOTAMs. Station Weather.

However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. However, the obstacles generate mechanical turbulence, making the air less stable. Look at the airport layout and determine the winds in relation to the available runways. The runway most closely aligned to the expected wind direction will likely be active. Be prepared for gusts!

We were IMC with some moderate turbulence when, out of the blue, the prisoner jumped up between us and tried to grab hold of the captain’s gun, which was in his holster. We had checked weather, Notams, and everything else, and all seemed good. It was an extremely cold night (–20°F on the ground). What is the advice?

Some gust fronts can be completely harmless or may be a precursor for an encounter with severe turbulence and dangerous low-level convective wind shear. READ MORE: How Do You Check NOTAMs? These gust fronts often contain severe or extreme turbulence, strong and gusty straight-line winds, and low-level convective wind shear.

Per the chart, the field generally has fuel available and, while there was no NOTAM about fuel being unavailable that day, I could not find a fuel price in ForeFlight. It was a typical turbulent, gusty, unpredictable Mackinac Island arrival. However, I could see a reasonable fuel price ($5.65/gal) gal) at Saginaw County / H.W.
