Weather Patterns:
Always check to see what the weather has been like in the region over the past few hours. In addition, weather in certain regions may have seasonal patterns based on the time of the year. Some people may even go as far as to create their own personal weather station to keep an eye out.
Experienced Pilot:
An experienced pilot will not only have all the necessary resources to investigate weather patterns, but also knowledge of what aspects to consider on your trip. He or she can provide valuable insight based on past experiences and will plan your flight accordingly.
Contingency Plan
In the event that weather hinders your travel arrangement, it’s a good idea to come up with a back up plan. This plan will generally not be as efficient of a route, however if it is absolutely imperative that you get to your destination at the specified time, having a contingency in place will give you an option if complications arise, as well as peace of mind throughout the entire process.
