VFR Top End Mid March - How Advisable?
I'm planning a VFR private trip in a Seminole from Bankstown up the east coast to Weipa, then Broome, Shark Bay and back to BK via Ayers Rock. I'm departing BK mid March. My query is how bad is the weather up north in the latter half of March for VFR flying? I've been up to Darwin at other times of the year, but never the wet season. I've only got 350 hours or so, so not much time in the experience book. I live in the UK so I have flown VFR in some ordinary flying conditions. I'm just after a gut feel response from people that have experience of top-end wet season conditions. Is it a case of fly in the morning, be careful and stay flexible with the timetable, or is this generally a bad idea and it may be a trip myself and my flying partner won't enjoy?
I've tried to find more specific climate stats, but all I can really establish from the BOM website is that March is statistically the second wettest month.
Thanks in advance.
