He has been busy flying, and that is going to make scheduling tough. But it is a good thing he is getting the flying time!!
So he cannot fly today since he was on reserve and got the call to take a trip. But it is just as well, because the weather is not cooperating anyway. It is supposed to rain and at Chesterfield right now, it is:
KFCI 061415Z AUTO 15003KT 10SM OVC012 16/12 A2991 RMK AO1
So, no flying today anyway.
And about the wind reported at KFCI. I am not sure it is ever correct. Here is Richmond:
KRIC 061354Z 18011KT 10SM FEW009 BKN012 OVC019 16/14 A2992 RMK AO2 SLP137 T01610139
And Petersburg:
KPTB 061404Z AUTO 16007KT 10SM OVC012 17/15 A2991 RMK AO2
And Hanover:
KOFP 061354Z AUTO 16009G17KT 10SM OVC015 16/13 A2993 RMK AO2 SLP134 T01560133
My suspicion has always been that the wind is inaccurate at Chesterfield. And outside my office window, where I am this morning, the flag on top of the Dominion Building serves as my windspeed gauge. I can tell it is blowing hard out there right now as this system moves up from the southwest.
So I'll try to schedule some flying time next week.
