Weather deviations

0 viewsOct 1, 2026

A thunderstorm sits on your route to Munich. You ask ATC for a weather deviation, hear what to do when ATC cannot clear you or there is no time to wait, and report turbulence and icing.

What you learn

  • Request a weather deviation with the distance and the side
  • Ask for another side or level when ATC says unable
  • Explain weather deviation required, and when to say pan-pan
  • Report turbulence or icing with an AIREP special
  • Refuse a clearance into a storm: unable, due weather
