My first foray through the Pinedene Corridor, so really looking forward to it!

Flight plan done, frequencies noted, have brushed-up on ATC-speak for FAWK, so here we come . . . . !

Dont worry John, we will have them on...we're expecting ZU TCR too

Fly safe boys....sheesh I'm praying, 50 50 at this stage, really hoping the rain will lift in the next few hours

Be careful of low cloud in the area in the morning guys. If temp and dew point are too close get into your car and drive to FAKT. See you all there!!

Greetings All!!

It looks as if Kitty Hawk remains IMC with cloud sitting at 500ft AGL.

Here is the weather station report, showing 1 degree between temp and dewpoint!

Kittyhawk Ai
13 Oct 05:45
Wind:WSW M241 0-0kph,0-0kts
Temp:13C
Hum:93%
QNH:1023mb RIS
Dewpoint:12C
CU Height:454ft
D.Alt:4181ft
Sunrise-05:34
Sunset-18:12

Even Aeroden is non-flyable, with the weather station report as follows:

Aeroden Airf
13 Oct 04:54
Wind:ESE T111 2-8kph,1-4kts
Temp:15C
Hum:58%
QNH:1022mb FAL
Dewpoint:7C
CU Height:3368ft
D.Alt:3953ft
Sunrise-05:37
Sunset-18:14

Although the report shows cloud base at 3953ft, sitting at the airfield sipping coffee I can assure you it is also around 500ft.
So at least for me the FAKT fly-in is a no-go! Also, FAWK would want you to maintain 6,500ft through Pinedene, which would simply not be possible!

Safe Skies!
