Although the EVOLVE 2 is a high-performance aircraft, weather can be a crucial factor to flight performance and safe operations. Caution must be taken when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather planning breaks include the following criteria:
• Weather information gathering – This can be achieved by watching local news weather stations, the internet, and apps such as The Weather Channel and NOAA.
• Knowledge of weather patterns in your operational area – Search for local weather patterns with weather forecasting apps.
• Executing flight plans and go or no-go situations based on the weather information – Be sure to make informed decisions based on accurate weather information and remember no flight is too important to ignore hazards created by inclement weather.
If these criteria are met, the chances of a crash or close call are substantially reduced.
