NHPC Weather predictions

[John Wallis]

There's a lot of people view this website and maybe take for granted that what they read is gospel. Some of the suggestions to fly sites that I've been reading lately beggars belief. If there's inexperienced pilots reading certain postings they might think the met' conditions are going to be good because other people say so.

Do not believe all you read.

What I would like to suggest for safety's sake is this. If members are prepared to suggest a site and that the weather will be good for flying I would imagine they must be experienced or qualified to do so.

So if you go flying and you have a reasonable/good/Great day give that member a thumbs up on their profile. If they give constantly poor or maybe dangerous information give them a thumbs down.

We have several commercial pilots in our club these being Anderson Maltby Miskin Wirdnam who are worth listening too as are a few other experienced members. If they say the weather will be good listen to them they will probably be right.

There are others to take with a pinch of salt or completely ignore.

Experienced pilots also get the the weather wrong from time to time, if you are inexperienced you should not be flying on your own anyway also try to make sure someone with more experience than you takes off first and checks out the conditions.

I used to do this all the time

Happy safe flips.
