Question for 'TheOddOne' in post 32.
When there is WX, almost a daily occurance, or so it seems, how do aircraft on P-RNAV routes avoid the clouds?
Why would they want to?

I heard a pilot say the other day:

'Provided the IRVR is >125M, the rest of the weather is irrelevant'.

Not strictly true the whole time, but the case for 99% of his ops.

Don't get me started on Low Visibility Procedures (LVP's). Another shocking case of underinvestment and failure by the regulator to grasp new technologies causing chaos every time it gets foggy.
