Ep. 10 – Training in Tough Weather: How Ontario’s Conditions Build Stronger Pilots

Genesis Flight College

In this episode of The Becoming a Pilot Podcast, host Dave Angus and co-host Tyler break down how Ontario’s diverse and often unpredictable weather shapes better pilots. From crosswind landings and lake-effect snow to low IFR ceilings and rapid weather changes, the duo explores how Collingwood’s environment offers real-world experience that most flight schools can’t replicate. They also discuss the importance of making your own runway decisions at uncontrolled airports, flying in actual cloud conditions, and the role of glass cockpit experience in setting you apart in a competitive job market. If you’re serious about becoming a confident, career-ready pilot, this one’s for you.
