Watching the Clouds…

The weather has been coming in all day, will probably rain later tonight. Its rare one gets any real instrument conditions here in SoCal so I’ve been watching the METARS to see if I can sneak a short IFR flight in actual clouds. For a while it was 1500 overcast which gave me hope that conditions would be right later this evening – I am looking for around 800 overcast – but now the cloud cover is 2100 which is absolutely no good. I’ll keep watching just in case.

[Update:] Clouds lifted to 3400 overcast so I stayed inside instead.

Your Pilot In Command

I got my private pilot certificate in Feb 2002, and my instrument rating exaclty one year later in 2003. I fly out of Montgomery Field, San Diego, renting Cessna 172s, 182s, and Piper Archers from PlusOneFlyers. I also have high performance and complex endorsements.

Currently, I have approximately 295 hours of PIC time, including 450 landings, and a monster 6.4 hours of actual instrument time. January 2009
