Title: LCY fog chaos
Post by: Chris Liu on Sep 16, 2014 09:37
If you want a challenge then try flying in to LCY this morning:
EGLC 160820Z 09006KT 0500 R09/1100 R27/1000 FG VV/// 16/16 Q1016

At time of writing all departures prior to 1030Z have been cancelled, with major delays across almost all arrivals and some diversions too. According to the TAF, things should have improved by 1100Z. The joys of operating from a CAT I field  ::)

I managed to get a flight in, ICX498 to EGCC, however it wasn't until 12:30Z and things had improved by then. It was a bit disappointing, not just because the weather had improved but also as I connected to Vatsim the EGLC Tower Controller logged off. At least EGCC Radar was online and he was an excellent controller.

Cheers,
