Refuelling near thunderstorms
Can anyone help me with this?
What is the minimum distance from a thunderstorm, before re-fuelling must stop....Jet A1 fuel.
CASA were no help.
Current practice where I am is 5Km, but from what I have read on the net, all other kinds of events, including sporting use a 30 second, flash to bang timing...Approx 10Km.
I know that lightening can travel up to 30K's before striking ground.
Scary stuff..
