Thanks for the tranquilliser response, I understand perfectly the situation that prevails.....rules are rules as regards reporting criteria. I would point out however that one man's cloud is another man's mist.....military aircraft can maintain formation in "cloud" ......can they not?
Anyway...give the pilot all the information and let him/her make the decision based on their own operating minima.....this post highlights a fundamental difference between military and civil.
