Line Up and Wait
I have been flying with my CFII doing an IPC. I was actually signed off last week, but wanted 1 more with hime to really rub the rust off. I had a lesson
scheduled for this morning. CFII calls about 1 hour before to cancel due to weather. I was online checking it when he called. Here is the metar at the time--KLRU 241410Z AUTO 00000KT 7SM -SN BKN009 OVC033 08/08 A3004 RMK AO2. The freezing level was 9000, there was an airmet(big surprise) for icing in precip above freezing level. There was light rain at the surface (not snow like the metar said). The reason given for cancelling, lightning. The lightning panel on DTN showed maybe 5 strikes 50 or so miles to the south of here. Question is
would you have flown? My II is a really conservative guy and I wonder if he is not to conservative. The last time we flew I kinda had to push due to weather, and it took a call to FSS to help me convince him. What would you do? A) find another II B) talk to this one C) All of the above D) nothing, he is right
Thanks for the input
