Thought for the day.

Q.When is the most likely time to have a lightening strike?
A. When you're picking your way among a mass of Cbs (eg the ITCZ).

Q. Which part of your aircraft is most likely to be struck?
A. The nose.

Q. What lives in the nose (apart from you)?
A. The radar antenna.

Q. If that gets knocked out by a strike have you got a spare?
A. No.

Conclusion: At times like this always maintain a mental or written note of what headings you would fly and for how long if you suddenly lost the Wx radar.
