At ForeFlight we know from first hand experience that weather plays a critical role in aviation and is often the number one worry that a pilot faces before and during flight. To better serve that critical need, we are excited to announce that Scott Dennstaedt has joined the ForeFlight team.
Scott has been well-known for his aviation weather expertise for many years, and will now lead the ForeFlight team in the role of Weather Scientist. His background and experience as a CFI, research meteorologist, and founder of the excellent AvWxWorkshops.com provide a unique set of qualifications that will help ForeFlight remain the gold standard among pilots for flight planning and in-flight support.
Scott’s overall mission will be to set the direction of the ForeFlight app with respect to aviation weather. This will include advancing the capabilities of the preflight weather briefing while increasing the pilot’s weather awareness in-flight.
We couldn’t be happier to have Scott on the team, and we’re excited to move the state-of-the-art forward in aviation weather. If you have any ideas to pass along to Scott or the team, please don’t hesitate to contact us at team@foreflight.com.
