I aced my Part 107 test today and scored 100% thanks to your videos! THANK YOU and I greatly appreciate the time it took for you to make and post this video! :D

12 minute video and I took a lot of notes along with definitions. It took me an hour to pause and write. Fantastic learning experience. Thank you!

Hi, at this vedio timed 1:50 minutes you decoded SLP095 = 1095 millibars. Perhaps you're just confused. I think it should be 1009.5 millibars. If my memory is correct the rule in decoding SLP in metar is that when SLP is followed by Zero (0) you add 10 after SLP as SLP 1009.5. When SLP is followed by 9 or lower number, add 9 after SLP like SLP978.5

Great explanations Jon. As a brand new student pilot/Civil Air Patrol scanner I was lost after the RMK part but now it"s all totally clear. Thanks alot.

[C-ri]

[stayfrosty]

Even years later this video is an amazing resource so thoroughly explained Thank You

[cosmichasm]

Virga is so cool! I had no idea that it existed (thanks part 107 for really making me dig into things that I probably could have gone a lifetime never knowing)!

"FU = smoke"

I know... that is how we feel too about you if we experience smoke in regards to aircraft...

Checking-in in 2022. Planning to take the exam by eom. Thanks for providing these tutorials!

[danielstadnichenko]

Thank u for this video with great information and explanation and for this channel in general

[ryfle]

1095 millibars lol! But Jon, I've been sort of binge-watching your videos, and they are extremely helpful. There's plenty of 'watch me fly' videos on YouTube, but thank you for always making videos with an educational purpose.

[bryanabdiel]

pretty nice weather in the background, after all the bad weather that could be present in a metar and taf

[ufmxxl]

Thats an amazing lesson. i stuck with you and took notes, many thanks from ireland

[michaelmcghie]

Your videos are so educational. So much information I'm in info overload LOL. Thanks for the education.

[kenmunn]

Real nice job.... I fly on a commercial level and there was plenty I just learned... thanks

[lh]

This is really helpful, I’m glad I found these videos

[morpheus]

This seems like an archaic way of handling weather reports with today's available technology. I feel like besides the very basics that I would forget what most of this stuff even means.

[Smow_Lotion]

Took notes on this video, now i need an explanatory video on how to read my notes on METAR
