Pollux....

Ariel, BEagle....


Not buying this. At the time this went off the wind was not a factor. I had a licence holder up for some revision in the same locale and it was fine. This was just after a student and I were doing performance takeoffs, and before I went up for some circuits on my own. Sure a few bumps over the ridge lower down, but at 2.2, it was smooth as the proverbial.....

Wind calmed as the day went on (as forecast) and too many people look at the ten-to-nineteens and say game over. Fortunately, not wanting to disappoint where there was a possibility to fulfil an obligation, this one went ahead. Quite rightly IMHO.
