IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SPARE, GO BY AIR.......
I really wanted to fly to a family reunion. Impress everybody. Planned ahead, rented a plane. Filed a flight plan, IFR. Took off early in the morning.
And 45 minutes along, ran into unexpected and unforecast dodgy weather. The enroute contoller confirmed that a sigmet had just been issued!
I'm so glad I was alone. No pressure from the passengers, no need to explain or apologise.
I executed a 180, and went back to the point of departure, where my good old automobile was parked, and DROVE to the family reunion. Which when you think about it, was the only right and sensible thing to do.
Would you be able to do that if you had all your colleagues along for the ride?
