End of last year went for a local bimble in the Cub,forecast was good,but the vis gradually got worse so I returned to airfield which was not far away.
Turned downwind and as I was about to turn onto base almost lost the strip but could still just see it.
Now about 600' so turned onto base and could just see the mark to turn on final.
Turned on final and the strip was visible and then as I approached became clearer.
Landed all OK,but reminded me of the advice from one of my instructors .
"Never be fooled by the sucker's gap"
Well ,that is very good advice but it wasn't really a sucker's gap as the wx had bween fine,just a sudden unexpected deteriation in visibilty.
Certainly makes one think,what would I have done if it did clag over,all we have is a radio and very few basic instruments,anyway I'm not trained IMC?
