Do you listen to ATC if they tell you the weather ahead is bad?
If your told the weather ahead is poor by ATC would you listen or just disregard??.....yesterday I was giving a service to a light aircraft operating VFR as he tried to route back to his Scottish base.....Being the helpful sort of guy that I am I obtained weather ahead from airfields that he was liable to have to fly over....to say the least these reports were poor....the best OVC at 600ft and the worst OVC at 300ft.......on advising him of this info he tells me "no it's fine where I am as he decides to press on!!! What would you have done???
The outcome could have been a lot worse I fear!!
