During my time as a Army Pilot as soon as the snow arrived we were rebriefed about snow landings and take-offs etc,also we had to fly with a QHI and demonsrate we could carry out this type of flying....
Do you think the Civilian world of flying comes to a halt because of a bit of Snow?

Do you reckon it is economical to run to a Check Pilot for training anytime something new shows up in the form of weather or task?

You reckon a "Professional" pilot should be able to cope with such encounters...through training, experience, and education or have the commonsense to wait it out until conditions improve?
