Default VFR "picking his way thru" heavy cells with XM Radio weather

I mentioned that I was trained to skirt CBs by 20 miles. Of course,
that is the reason.


Maintaining such a hard rule WRT to *all* CBs would make flyng a very
difficult proposition down South in the summertime, as Dylan has pointed out.
Not all CBs need such a wide berth.


It's often difficult to maintain good situational awareness of the
buildups if you are in VMC under a cell's base, or the buildups begin
to merge.


That's what XM WX is for, praised be its name!
