I was afraid of that, how to I take a shot? I have to go to work now, hopefully they will not do this.

Hi Folks, I got inspired again with using the Skew t/Log P charts as a part of flight planning and deciphering cloud layers, bases and tops, convective activity and icing. So I thought I would post a sample here for KSEA Seattle International and correlate the sounding with the METAR and...

Great, Thanks, I have not seen this CPC discussion before. I am also getting re familiarized with the skew t-log p charts again. That forecaster looks cold, do you guys have heat in there? Or do you want the forecasters to be more in tune with what is going on outside?:D

No old heads. A buddy of mine says he flies in that kind of stuff but he is in a Skywest EMB145. The dillema in a 421 is the climb rate sucks when heavy and on such a short flight climbing to on top is just impractical when the tops are at 240. These storms are thick with stratocu and a LOT of...

As far as go/no go descisions, I am so used to no going a flight lesson, even IFR when it looks like this since the student always understands and no one ever needs to go anywhere. Breaking into a new world.

Hello, First post here, Very good thread. I am a CFII with 3600 hours and have been flying 91 corporate for a year now in a C421B and believe it or not I am still a virgin to heavy weather flying, although weather that all the commercial guys are flying in in larger aircraft like mine and up...
