Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: Pilot Weather Briefing

The "Pilot Weather Briefing" site was designed by aviation meteorologist Robert Lattery as a means for pilots to easily obtain the latest and best weather data available on the World Wide Web before they receive a formal pre-flight briefing.

DISCLAIMER: This site should be used for preliminary flight planning purposes only. It IS NOT a substitute for a formal preflight weather briefing. Due to the current nature of the World Wide Web the federal government does not recognize data available through this medium as safe and reliable for aviation.

The information published on and via this site is made available without warranty of any kind. The author of this site accepts no responsibility or liability, whether direct or indirect, as to the timeliness, accuracy or quality of the information, nor for any consequences of its use.

After a number of months of research through various meteorological and aviation related information sources on the web, links were brought together to form "Pilot Weather Briefing." These links were determined to best serve the needs of pilots flying in the lower 48 states of the United States.
