I am a vfr private pilot in training and I have learned that I dont really like flying in really turbulent conditions read: really gusty, windy conditions. (I fly in the airspace above Houston Tx, and fly out of KDWH). I always check aviationweather.gov before I depart for the airport, because its a 40min drive from home. and I normally text my CFI before I depart for the airport if I think the weather is questionable, to get his opinion.
Recently I also attended a meeting of a local flying club and in attendance was a CFI, I asked the CFI if he would fly in an Airmet Tango. he replied:"no"
question: of the private pilots here, How many will knowingly takeoff and fly in an area with Airmet Tango conditions or if you are on a cross country trip, and find out there is an Airmet Tango along the way, will fly around it if practical or fly straight through it?
