The club is trying to restart regular blog posts on weather in particular. Please have a read of these if you want some help deciding if a trip up to the Blue Mtns is worthwhile.
I'll try to post on thursday evenings a take on the weekend opportunities for flying. In addition, if it looks promising for the mid week ahead, I'll add a brief mention on the thursday post, but probably less detailed as there are likely fewer pilots mid week.
This weekend just past was characterised with strong winds associated with multiple clipper fronts passing the SE corner of Aus. These winds have been prevalent for many days, but are beginning to back off this evening (Monday). Wednesday currently looks promising for the first fly in a while; light westerly winds, with base around 2300m.
Sunday also looks promising at present, and hopefully will look good on the thursday post.
*** Warning though, spring seems to have well and truly sprung early this year, conditions are already boisterous. If you are a low airtime pilot, expect that safety officers will advise flying outside of peak of day conditions.
*** If you haven't already read it, flip through our weather primer to help your understanding of Blackheath's weather puzzle.
*** Please note that the Mt Blackheath Holfuy is not working properly and needs maintenance.
*** These posts are intended as a reference only, they do not supercede the responsibility of a pilot making the call to not fly.
