LPA0011 - Convective Activity and Pilot Actions
Course Description
This course explores the critical aspects of convective weather phenomena and their impact on aviation safety. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of frontal systems, convective movements, associated hazards, and effective strategies for risk mitigation and hazard avoidance. One of four classes credited towards the FAA “Wings” program.
Each class will include aircraft accident analysis and prevention as it relates to the topics covered, and application to the PAVE model for trip planning and risk assessment.
Course Outline
• Explore frontal genesis and convective movements• Review hazards related to convective currents
• Learn how to avoid hazards and how to handle circumstances if in the convective activity zone
• Applying accident analysis to improve pilot decision-making PAVE Model Application
• Utilize the PAVE model for risk assessment
Learner Outcomes
By successfully completing this course, pilots will enhance their ability to safely operate in and around areas of convective activity, reducing the risk of weather-related incidents and accidents while advancing their professional development through the FAA WINGS program.Notes
