About SCOTT

Scott's Story...

​

Dr. Scott Dennstaedt has always had a love for aviation and weather. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Science from University of Maryland at College Park. Out of college was employed by the NWS as a research meteorologist then received his Master’s degree in Computer Science. He stepped out of the weather business for about 15 years to pursue a career in software engineering. In the late 1990s, Scott left Northrop Grumman as a senior fellow engineer to earn his commercial pilot certificate and become a full-time flight instructor where he was able to marry up his meteorology background with his new love for aviation. In 2008, he founded AvWxWorkshops Inc. to teach general aviation pilots at all experience levels how to minimize their exposure to adverse weather. In early 2021 Scott launched his unique progressive web app, EZWxBrief. Visit ezwxbrief.com to subscribe or to try it for 14-days for with no obligation to join.

 

Since the late 1990s Scott has written over 300 magazine articles focused on aviation and weather. His new eBook, The Skew-T log (p) and Me is the most comprehensive book on the market for pilots to learn how to utilize this hidden treasure. In addition to his writing, Scott is a nationally recognized aviation speaker. Scott grew up in the Baltimore area and he now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina where he earned his Ph.D. in Infrastructures & Environmental Systems from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC).
