This paper presents the preliminary evaluation results of an extended reality (XR) authoring tool designed for aviation weather training. XR has the potential to improve educational outcomes in flight training programs. However, the complexity and time demands of existing XR authoring tools have slowed wider adoption. This work strives to address these gaps by developing and continuously refining an instructor-centered, user-friendly XR authoring tool. Seventeen flight instructors participated in developing two XR lessons and evaluated the tool's effectiveness. Results indicated that the introduction of the XR authoring tool significantly boosted the instructors' confidence in creating XR content and alleviated concerns related to time consumption. Additionally, the findings showed that the XR authoring tool is highly usable and demands a low workload, with the XR lessons produced being highly satisfactory. By employing an instructor-centered approach, the XR authoring tool enabled instructors who are not XR experts to improve students' learning experiences, focusing on aviation weather content without the burden of technical complexities.
