Aberdeen departure weather
Hi guys, would someone be able to help me with the following?
I'm an offshore worker and always had a big interest in the weather conditions that affects the North Sea (see one of my previous posts), but on a particular cloudy/foggy day what are the limiting weather factors in order to depart Aberdeen airport to any offshore rig?
Before I'm being scheduled to fly on any trip I always have a look on my IPhone App 'AeroWeather' to see what the general conditions at/around Aberdeen airport are.
Also: after having talked to a few pilots about this (and it's still not all very clear to me) what kind of decisions do you guys make if the cloud levels are for example Broken at 600' or Broken at 400' or Broken at 200' or even when it's Scattered at 200' or 300' or Mist/fog etc... (does scattered cloud and mist/fog have the same limits as Broken cloud levels at Aberdeen airport/other airports around Aberdeen )?
Hope my question is not too demanding, but after getting a bit more insight/understanding of weather and decisions that you pilots make it makes us passengers more relaxed, well it makes me more relaxed for sure).
