Clouds
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 2:14 pmDid not plan to take shots of this flight but seems like there is some serious weather around Bowerman (KHQM).
I took of from KCLM, about 40 mins from KHQM, give or take. Had a 14 knots cross wind, take-off was, well gliding sideways. Cloud ceiling was 5800.
As I climbed to cruise altitude, 9000 feet I had a 30 knot wind blowing me into Oblivion, flew at a hard angle to maintain LNAV.
Request to decent to 7000 was denied, ATC knows something I don't.
Came into Bowerman, landed into a 13 knot wind gusting at 25. Landed ILS RWY 24. Flight was IFR.
It was jolly
