Airborne-Radar is the only multimedia, interactive course teaching the use of airborne weather radar and thunderstorm safety.

Airborne-Radar teaches the use of airborne weather radar. But, it goes beyond basic use of airborne radar, teaching thunderstorm theory, hazards of thunderstorms, airborne radar theory, and airborne radar techniques. A Final Exam concludes the course, enabling the user to test their knowledge. Airborne-Radar is available to PC and Mac users (for Mac users, an online version is required for deployment in your web browser -- please order normally and specify that you require online use for your Mac -- you will be provided with login details for online use).

Why Airborne-Radar?

Most seasoned professional pilots will admit that there has always been a lack of adequate weather radar training. The mantra has always been, "fly the airplane, and figure it out as you go." But, there's no reason to continue with that mindset. Now, Airborne-Radar provides the only source of thorough, interactive, online training on airborne weather radar.

The effective use of airborne weather radar is essential to anyone flying radar-equipped aircraft. Numerous aircraft accidents have occurred due to flight crews' inadequate knowledge of thunderstorms and the use of radar. Airborne-Radar helps provide that basis of knowledge. The goal is to provide the best radar training available, to make the pilot confident and knowledgeable about thunderstorm hazards.

Real, hands-on interactivity enable the user to move knobs, click buttons, and watch the results to provide the best radar training available. Full audio narration and quizzes make learning easy.
