Couldn't agree with you more!!
So its been a bad day, you head for the last hour of flight back to your desination. Its getitng dark, and there is a cold front on its way. You phone a friend at the destination that says its 'OK' so you set off.
45 mins into the flight the weather comes in. Its down to about 500ft AGL, its getting quite dusk and then the rain hits hard. That's it, time to turn around and head for the nearest weather diversion. Wolverhampton.
Its 21.20 and its nearly dark and in you go to a reasonable airfield and its pi$$ing with rain. Land fine, shut down, then its find a bed.
This has all the trapping of the push-on-itis that has got so many people into trouble, and will no doubt continue to do so.
Ringing the destination to check current conditions is one thing, checking the route and destination forecasts is another. And the time is ticking on as it's getting dark already........
I did notice that Jonp mentions heading for the nearest weather diversion, so I guess we have to give him some credit, but the rest of it worries me..................
