Flying this Sunday, March 28 10am-1 pm- weather permitting

Frank v B · March 25, 2021, 10:48:29 PM

I will set aside Sunday 10-1 for flying at Rogo Field. Happy to help anyone wishing a test flight, trim flight or a flight on the Club Trainer for new and potential members (no obligation).

This is weather permitting. The forecast shows a POP of 80% so I will be flying in the 20%.

Please look for my post on Sunday 9 am for a go-no go decision.

MMM.... the weather forecast shows a POP of 90%. Awfully tight to get 100% of my flying into 10% PONP.

Will make the final call by 9 am. Sunday

Cadez early weather warning system: currently 5 deg. Feels like 8-10 k winds from the north. Sky is overcast but no dark clouds. You might get a few hrs in. Charging batteries. Attempts at flying dark grey plane in grey sky.

No Go!

It started raining here in Toronto (Yonge & St. Clair) at 8:45 am. The Cadez weather station in Stouffville just reported at 9:15 that it started raining there.

I will be at the field Wednesday from 2 pm no matter the weather. It will be a productive visit. Either get to fly or wash my car in the rain.

Gee @Frank v B ! I thought 5-7 pm was looking like a pretty good window of opportunity!

Hey @GuyOReilly ,

What if we put in a CATIII ILS?!!

Frank v B · March 28, 2021, 10:48:02 AM

HELP!!! Now there are two TEMAC members spilling AlphaBet soup they loosely call METARS.

We need deliverance!

Andy Hoffer · March 28, 2021, 11:06:54 AM
