- exactly, as would any other competent LL pilot. We wait to hear what Cazatou would have done - continued at 2400ft (or whatever it was)? If
that suggestion did, as you say, come from Day or Wratten I would seriously question their aviation competence. [I did say 6000ft 'ish was a guess! - certainly into icing.]
As CGB says, the only other option was to climb to Irish Sea MSA and return.
Incidentally, whether the SA comment was taken out of context I cannot recall without looking through pages of stuff - indeed is it just another 'red herring' from Cazatou?
