Finding balance in Multi-IFR: the gutless pussy vs the reckless madman
You're sitting there reading TAFs and ARFORs for your flight, about to depart in half an hour. Amongst other things, the forecasts include frequent CB and sigmets for severe turbulence. You're flying a simple light twin with no WX radar.
For those of you out there who've done their thousand or so hours in these kinds of operations, how did you deal with these situations? How and where did you draw the line?
If you saw freq CB on an arfor, did you call it a day and just incur the wrath of your boss? Or did you head out in all but the absolute worst of conditions, give it a go and only call it a day if and when you found yourself in the thick of it, with the weather / turbulence simply to bad to press on?
How do you strike an acceptable balance, getting the job done while being professional and responsible? I realise that it's impossible to give a single difinitive answer but it would be great to get some idea of what is standard and acceptable practice in the industry.
Thanks!
