I am sure BW does have a life but much more importantly he has the INFORMATION!!!
Re the JAA IR - can somebody tell me how I can work out the en route icing level and cloud tops from the officially available (or unofficially available, e.g. GFS) weather data? It is no good knowing the small details of weather physics if one cannot get the data to interpret.
Occassionally, like today, the clouds are obviously thin (1400/2200 on a flight I did today up to 7pm) but a lot of the time one cannot tell if the layer is 2000ft or 7000ft thick.
