Consequences
|
| |
|

· Enroute winds different than forecast indicate that positions of high and low pressure areas have changed from forecasts
|
| |
|
Alternatives
|
| |
|
Choose an alternate that:
· won’t run you back through the same bad weather
· is in a different weather system
· is downhill and downwind—one that’s in lower terrain and one with a tailwind to help you get there

|

|
| |
|
Reality means dealing with weather as it is, not as you planned it to be.
|
| |
|
External Pressures
|
| |
