Friday Focus on IFR

17 October 2014

For VFR pilots: Should scattered clouds begin to slip in below your altitude, execute your Plan B option(s) sooner rather than later. Under the right conditions, scattered clouds can merge into broken or overcast layers, leaving you trapped above the cloud deck. For IFR pilots, assess the potential for a descent through the thickening levels of the soup. Keep on eye on temperature changes and the risk of ice. Plan ahead.
