Flying in the wet
Hi all,
I'm now a few months into my first wet season an thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to share tips/advice/lessons learned from those who have experienced flying vfr singles (or whatever else) during the wet season in the top end. I've gotten throught the first few months fairly unscathed but there's definately been a couple of times where I've touched cotton.. an I've found asking questions to the senior guys with wet season experience a big help.
A couple of things I've learnt already is to always have more than one option in case the weather turns to ****, as you can almost guarantee that'll eventually happen.. also sniffing the fuel you've drained from the tank, as I had one occassion where I drained nothing but water (about one third of the drainer full).
Would love to hear any other advice people have in regard to flying in the wet! I'm having a ball doing but its also a pretty steep learning curve!
