    We talk with Kerrie Englert, a terminated Flight Director at NOAA Hurricane Hunters.Flight directors are critical to the NOAA Hurricane Hunters' operations because they serve as the primary coordinators and decision-makers during missions into hurricanes and other severe weather systems.  Flight directors are the backbone of these missions, turning what could be chaotic flights into structured, successful operations that save lives by improving our understanding of hurricanes. Their role is a blend of leadership, scientific know-how, and split-second decision-making under pressure.Support the showSuggest a topic or ask a question: alex@wxguide.comVisit our conference site: www.hurricanecenterlive.comThanks for listening and please share with your friends and co-workers.
