I would like to know from all those complaining about TMM what they would do if they didnt have him,
He may get it wrong, but did you ask the right questions? and do you pass on any info.
While based in Wattisham, TMM would ask an aircraft flying to the East what the weather was doing and base his updates on pilot reports. this was also the case in Dishforth for operating over the moors. . .This may seem amateur but the reports from the continent are not very reliable, and why not make use of all your assets.
Now flying a Blimp I explain to TMM my limitations and he briefs me accordingly, I can then plan my schdule.. .I have only lost 2 days flying due to a bad report, in my book that is a pretty good sucess rate.
I don't know any pilot that actually understood Met for their first few years of flying, so it's always good to have someone to help through those years whilst you gain experience.
