Maintaining VMC - Aussie Airspace
All, so I have a quick question regarding maintaining VMC as I have my PPL test coming up ( with Ken Andrews ).
Lets say I provisionally look to fly at my planned altitude e.g 5500 feet but have some cloud in front of me that looks like it's pretty much on my level. I'm interested in your thoughts regarding either:
- Descending below to maintain 1000ft vertical separation
Vs
- Performing small doglegs ( 30 / 45 / 60 degrees etc )
Also, any tips on ways of establishing how close cloud actuallly gets ( i.e whether it's within 1500m horizontally or 1000ft vertically )
