CAVOK
Hey follow pilots,
Was wondering what you though of the old saying CAVOK? I believe that is put dated and should be changes, for example you are flying from ymmb-yltv and the forecast for yltv is CAVOK you up at your cruising level of 6500ft and the cloud is broken at 6000ft above the field so the term CAVOK means nothing to you because you are above it!!!.
I reckon they should employ a new system, Keep the old CAVOK (cloud clear below 5000ft viz greater then 10k's) but also have maybe CAVCAVOK which means cloud clear below 10000ft and viz greater then 10k's!!!
What you reckon?
cheers
