I do wonder at the sanity of some of the posters on here.
Would you prefer that the VAAC model errs on the side of 'Leary and then just hope that no-one accidentally flies through an errant bit of ash?
Old saying," i'd rather be on the ground wishing that I was up in the air, than up in the air wishing that I was on the ground"
No need to question my sanity at all.
Obviously you didn't read my post properly did you? I said safety is paramount, however operations should NOT remain suspended if Volcanic ash has not entered various areas of airspace as previously envisaged.
I'd prefer the use of the VAAC model
combined with real time analysis as above. It was the rigid adherence to the NWP modelling last year that wrought havoc.
