Oshkosh flight planning
Its great to work out all these options ahead of time, but then comes
the day of your flight. There is a 200-mile wide line of thunderstorms across the route of flight and you wind up going via JOT or SSM. All the tooth gnashing about where to stop on the direct route is out the window. Plus you need to leave 45 mins earlier to keep meet your schedule! :-( Been there, done that ;-) Don't forget to plan for the unexpected & have a great flight! |

In a previous article, said:
window. Plus you need to leave 45 mins earlier to keep meet your schedule! :-( Been there, done that ;-) Don't forget to plan for the unexpected & have a great flight! Then there is what happened to me - I waited out a thunderstorm on the departure airport, and after it passed I went out to pre-flight the aircraft, only to find out that it had a broken muffler. Can't get the part on a weekend, so I ended up driving. 14 hours of driving versus 4.5 hours of flying. Man, that sucks. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ It's not 'I don't do Windows', it's 'I know nothing about Windows, and it generally explodes when I get near it'. -- Matt McLeod |
