Where u out of?? In nepa the weather last few have been brutal. Rain is just coming down hard and often. The bands just seem to be lined right up on us!!! I have 2 hours of XC I need to get done (Working on IFR rating) between my schedule and this weather it’ll be the weekend. Was planning some night flight up to KBGM and bounce around and come back to KHZL but it’s not gonna happen!!
Socked in the last few days going to clear Thursday thru the weekend..
Yep, been terrible. I was supposed to shoot some approaches Saturday morning to get my currency back and the weather would have been perfect VFR, but the hangar door mechanism self-destructed and now they can't get the door open. They have no idea how long it will take to fix. Kind of like this weather...
Even if they get it fixed, my safety pilot is out of town for the rest of the week, and next week things get busy at work again before classes start. So I guess I'm going to go a year out of currency this time...
Southern New England (and of course NY and PA) are getting hit a lot worse than we are here in central VT, enough to cause flooding in some areas. We aren't even getting enough rain to raise the water table - all the rivers are much lower than normal for mid-August, and the recent weather hasn't done anything to help that. It just drizzles most of the time, or enough of the time to ruin any outdoor activities.
Pretty sure you mean an hour after the sun goes down.
I totally believe it. Even here in VT, Monday and yesterday would have been perfect for shooting approaches in actual, an exceedingly rare meteorological event in this area. Unfortunately I'm out of currency, and even if I was current, my plane is stuck behind a broken hangar door...
