Occasionally, people express concern about the weather in Seattle. It’s true that weather can be a challenge here. But, ask yourself this: would you rather fly under IFR with a pilot who’s trained in the desert sun, or somebody who’s trained where there’s actual IMC, mountains, oceans and a variety of weather conditions unmatched anywhere else? We know what real-world flight training is all about.
