Bad Weather

Romeo Victor is well-equipped for instrument flight, or "instrument flight rules." I am instrument-rated, and I have the currency requirements under the federal regulations to fly under instrument conditions. However, sometimes you just can't go. Flying on instruments does not mean flying into thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are associated with weather systems such as the one shown here which stretches from Mexico to Canada. We want to go back out west for a few days to hike and see the area around southern New Mexico. The weather depiction on the trusty 696 shows it ain't happening on this day. The system is moving to the east, so tomorrow should be fine.
