Another CFII told me to check the weather, see what the flow is, and file to an initial approach fix for an approach in use. Answer: I advocate checking the weather and seeing what approaches are being supported by the conditions, then select an approach and file to an Initial Approach Fix (IAF) for that approach. Who is correct?

Pilots who miss this question will often select that the jet stream is stronger in the summer perhaps becuase the US typically sees more active weather patterns during this season, but it is, in fact, weaker due to the difference in temperature between the tropics and North America being less extreme in the summer. How should you proceed?

Or, sadly, too many pilots’ final decision: “The weather is really marginal, but with a little luck, I should be able to make it.” They read the NOTAMs “before” they take off into the wild blue yonder.
