About pilotgreenland.

pilotgreenland. is about flying into weather with, I hope, a practical understanding and pilot one liners. Posts delves into aviation theory, the decision-making process and weather analysis, that goes into flying weather, which is better understood as situational awareness of weather.

Some of the 'old timers' or 'flying cowboys' can tell a few good weather stories. They would say, the aerodynamics of flight and theory of weather haven't changed much, it's the technology in gathering weather data that has.

Being situationally aware is to gather as much information to know what can occur and be ahead of the situation. Weather situational awareness is to gather weather data from various sources, interpret, analyze, and visualize it before taking off, so once airborne, pilots make good calls.

The specific set of skills that pilots build is recognizable when pilots interface with the machine to make decisions and how the interaction influences their actions in the cockpit as in a single pilot operation. This is part of what is known as human factors in aviation, which means, it is also about the helicopter pilots themselves.

This website is a discussion on the whole process of merging the helicopter, pilot, and weather - contributing to a better understanding of airmanship.
