Personal Flying Visibility Minima
Hi All,
I am familiar with the visibility minima for "legal" flight for a PPL without an IMC rating and consider that I would not be happy to fly at this minima of 3km.
That started me thinking as to what minima I would be happy flying in. Well today I had a chance to try this out at EGKB and set off to complete some circuits with a viz of 5km at the beginning of the session rising to 7km at the end. The sun was quite low in the sky and I felt that I would not want to be flying at anything less than 5km viz.
From this I have deduced that I have a personal minima of:
5km for circuits and operations in site of the airfield
8km for x-country
I will use these figures as a guide to my Go/No Go decision making process, bearing in mind that flying is my hobby not my profession.
Does anyone else work on these kind on personal minima and if so do the figures above sound reasonable. I have a day VFR SEP licence with 102 hrs total of which 33 hours are P1
Advice warmly welcomed
Regards
Andy
