Ah yes, cancelled QXCs – welcome to my world . . .
From memory, I had at least 10 false starts before I finally got to do mine, but it’s definitely worth waiting for a nice day. I’m a firm believer in making life easy for myself, and while your QXC will be great fun, you’ll be working pretty hard. Trying to navigate in 5km vis / haze is a hassle you can well do without.
(Had it on my skills test – we could see forever on the navigation section, south of the Thames.
Back at Stapleford, great view straight down from 2,000’, turn finals - 22L early afternoon in January - and the runway disappeared. My landings aren’t brilliant at the best of times, but they’re even worse if I can’t see where to land . . .
