The weather defiantly dictates when you should not fly, and in most cases the weather tells you when you can fly. Weather is a very complicated part of nature, and we will never understand it completely. Anyone that flies can get fooled by the weather, and in time will get fooled, but the important issue is that you do your best not to let the weather put you into a critical situation; and if you find yourself in one, have the correct training to mentally and correctly handle yourself. Wind is the main factor that affects flying a Powered Parachute.
When I instruct, any student will see that I take the weather very seriously. I will not put anyone in a critical situation. I understand that your time is important, so I will do my best at scheduling lessons, however, I cannot control the weather and there may be a scheduled lesson when the weather changes and flying is out (I use this time for ground school, when possible). However, as you learn, you will need some, not so perfect winds. Because you will learn to fly in crosswinds, up drafts and downdrafts during flight, landing, and takeoffs.
This page is still under construction. I am sorry that this page has not been upgraded as much as I would like, because of my busy schedule. I will try to get more detailed weather information available to the public as soon as I can.
