Final Approach
Looked at some TAFs for my trip this evening. The goal is to depart about 7p, it's a little over an hour's flight. If we get behind schedule (a likely scenario), I'm night current so it's no biggie but I would prefer to arrive during (some) daylight for this 'envelope expansion' trip; sunset is 8:13. We may have to wait out some T-Storms before departing.
My intended cruising altitude is 4,500msl. Most of the clouds along my route are reporting BRKN 2,500 & 3,500msl with possibly another BRKN layer at 7,000 and OVC 10,000 at a few locations near the route of flight. Honestly, I had to refresh my memory about cloud clearance requirements as I usually avoid weather approaching anything like this, but I think this is a nice & safe opportunity. I am qualified for VFR only.
