in the pattern:
if weather get bad you land and roll the aircraft in the hangar, you can even fly 10 more minutes until the storm gets really close. If there is something wrong like, hot oil temp, or a chip light, same thing.
A to B you have a mission to achieve, and the opportunity to get in trouble are much higher, particularly with weather and the unfamiliarity of the surrounding.
