Did You Know: AAS has some Preflight Weather Info?

[AS 2 Tom Little]

<P>This is just something I thought that only a few pilots may have discovered so far.&nbsp; You can get the current&nbsp; weather information before a flight for any destination (airport ICAO) before starting your AAS flight.</P>
<P>This is how it is done...</P>
<P>After you start the program and BEFORE you click on START AAS button, if you click on the weather image (sun with a few clouds)&nbsp;in the Weather area it will prompt you for an airport ICAO.&nbsp; Just enter in any airport ICAO and if NOAA tracks the weather for that location, then&nbsp;it will display that airport's last reported weather information.&nbsp; See the following screenshots of changing the weather information from KTPA to KJFK before I started my AAS flight.</P>
<P>I hope you find it somewhat helpful on your next AAS flight.<BR>Enjoy!</P>
