Real real weather looks even worse, looking through my window in Ramsey!
It's all right for you lot, just switch off FSX and you can get away from the "real IOM" weather; some of us can't. To be fair, "some of us" hasn't left the Island for two years and isn't going off next week in a state of euphoria!

Alas no, as SWMBO has the day off and is threatening to drag me out to
look
at cutlery (believe it or not).

The chances of escaping this are less than those of a snowball in
hell.

Tuesday to Thursday look good..

A very good point Kevin as it highlights the absolutely essential need
for  clearances to be read back by the pilot (and ATC to listen to
this) so  that  errors are trapped.

Any clearance involving a height or heading should be repeated by the
aircraft so both parties are clear about what is going to happen.

Just online at Farnborough, delighted to see Jerry on the apron as I
logged on. Flightplan to EGNS (home). Winds calm, he was heading for
runway 06.

He called up.

Herein I have to apologise, my performance was poor, I suggested a
heading from 06 which should have routed him direct to NORRY, his
first waypoint. Traffic was light but mostly using 27 at Heathrow.

Diamond 068 took off and turned on a heading which kept him out of
EGLL airspace but on a Northerly heading. I should have asked, but as
I didn't confirm any clearance, I watched as he climbed, still
Northbound for another 10 miles, at which point I wondered if my 300
degrees had been heard as 360 degrees and asked.

Jerry accepted "own navigation" and spent some time travelling West
to regain his original flightplan......Sorry.

This only serves to highlight the need for clearance so that both
parties are aware and can follow the flight progress. I'm still
trying to avoid the pregnant pauses over clearances as I look up the
lesser used ISEC's and Fix's...

Once again apologies offered.


G'day
