Don't fly weather briefing
Has anyone else noticed a tendency for FSS briefers to give you a "stay on
the ground" weather briefing for isolated thunderstorms? 90% of the time on a summer day in Texas there are some storms. Usually easy to see and avoid. But I have in the past had a controller that obviously didn't want me to fly. The worst case was a VFR flight between Houston and Austin with a single cell between the two cities. All the controller would tell me about was how bad the weather in the cell was. He refused to provide me with any weather information outside of the cell. I ended by hanging up and calling back. The next briefer told me about the very good weather outside of the single cell and I had a good flight. This is only the worst of my experiences with briefers and thunderstorms. Anyone else had a similar issue with a briefer not doing his job because he/she thought you shouldn't fly that day. Danny Deger |
