Yes - another weather app - but this one looks more meaty than most and best of all - it's free! If you haven't heard about this yet or played around with it - check it out on the IAOPA website here.

Pilots can choose to register allowing them to set home and favorite airports. Features such as airport information and crosswind on the runway are also available!

Wellness Corner - on the ground and in the air 

We will be highlighting a wellness aspect, providing tips or interesting links to help you on your path to maintaining a healthy body and mind - both in and out of the cockpit, on the ground and in the air.

Don't just take it from us, read what Larry M. Diamond, PharmD, CFII has to say about it, shared from the AOPA.org website: read more

Wellbeing was highlighted at the 2023 Safety Seminar. In case you missed it - here is a link to the 'Guide to Wellbeing' from the Flight Safety Foundation and the presentation which are both found on our website: read more

The holidays can be a great time of joy but also stress, loneliness and anxiety. Just know that you are not alone. To speak with someone anonymously, SOS Detresse is available at +352 45 45 45 daily from 11am to 11pm (Fri and Sat till 3am) in Luxembourgish, French and German - plus English on Wednesdays.
