Listen, all this crap about what we should think and say is rubbish, the weather on Sunday was of a degree, 70mph recorded in Perthshire during the day that no PPL in a small aircraft should have been flying and if they were at the stage of considering this then they should line up and have a brain transplant and the CAA should look more at this decision process.
May I also add short field take off 600m, grass, wet wet wet, muddy, no flaps!!!!!!!!!! head wind and still struggled to get off
This was a gross case of, have to get the girl home and I would suggest that THERE may be the reason for the request for Edinburgh, may be the passenger had more sense.
