Forecast cloud bases for both Sat and sun look poor and there is a suggestion of high cloud about on Sunday. From my experience the RASP doesn't allow for high cloud which means Sundays RASP forecast will be optimistic.
You be the judge;
Saturday at 3pm
Sunday at 3pm.
I note a minor debate over the Duo use at X-country courses (and in general) has raised it's head again. One suggestion is the Duo shouldn't be allowed to go X-country with a student in the 2nd seat unless the Pilot in command has 50 hours Duo time and has completed at least 2 land-outs. That becomes a bit chicken and egg-ish...unless you do some serious X-country work you won't get to 50 hours (and remain current) and you won't land-out. We could just leave it in the hanger...much safer.
No-one has landed it out yet...I did try...so ipso facto it should not go X-country...
We have struggled as a club with this aircraft...a lesson for others maybe.
