Lee. It's a bit of a lottery, it seems, regarding exams! It's also a real lottery ref weather at the moment!! I was due to do a solo nav today at 10.30 - woke to a beautiful clear sky, but would you believe it the E.Mids winds are just outside the 10 kt crosswind limit for solo flights, Grrrrrr!! The plane is available at 12.00, so I'm waiting for the later TAF/METAR reports to see if it calms down a bit. The school decides these things, but 210/13 kts for runway 27 is VERY close to being OK. My school is VERY strict on these things, and will not deviate. They've never had an accident in about 20 years of operation, so perhaps their approach is admirable!!!
