The BOM has not been getting it right at least 50% of the time.......not even close.
Want to know what stress is? Arrive at work early, consult weather forecasts, TAFS, synoptic charts etc etc, which say it's fine and beaut all day. Light winds and CAVOK for every airport within 200nm. Not a cloud in the sky.
Booking sheet says 100+ hrs to be flown today. Solo navs and 1st area solos. Sign out a dozen or so student solos.
Not even 30 mins after they launch..........it's overcast at 600.
Students stranded all over the state, area solos having to be recalled and assisted back into the circuit then back on the ground. Then the requisite finger pointing and tea n bickies with the boss.
Other days have 7 kts on the TAF, yet outside its gusting 36 kts. On more than one occasion, I have cancelled a full days flying program even though the forecast says fine and beaut, only to be proved right by lunchtime when even the IFR boys cant get in.
