Tstorm Toolbox: counter measures to mitigate risks Name Course Instructor Date According to Federal Aviation Administration (2009), weather considerations are important as they show whether pilots should undertake flights.

In any case, pilots are likely to encounter different weather conditions than the norm, and it is vital to be well prepared. The PAVE (Pilot, environment, external pressures, and aircraft) checklist offers a guideline for pilot for factors that are likely to affect the flight (FAA, 2009).
