Tailgunner Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 No, Adam? Do I detect the picking of nits? To me, and to every other real pilot I know, CAVOK has at least two connotations. [1] Checking Met before a serious cross-counry: no cloud below 5,000, vis 10k or more, no significant weather [2] Scanning the sky, as here: "Great flying day." BTW, I'd be interested to know how you managed to measure my cloudbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 ahhh well I am a long time fsx default weather engine user. default weather engine places cumulus at about 2,500ft-3000ft not above 5000 so this is how I know. just as an FYI I am a real world Pilot thank you very much.

Correct Adam, I am also a real life pilot! Some people need to consider "flaps 30" instead of "flaps 5" for arrival The picture above looks quite nice, scenery is terrific. Although wouldnt account that being "CAVOK" exacly Those clouds to me look below A050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
