Once again I was not able to fly as it was cloudy this morning (03/31/2012), but I thought I might still be able to fly until I checked the aviation weather website. It showed that although it was cloudy, the visibility was within the minimum VFR requirements for flying, but the cloud ceiling was way too low. My flight lesson was scheduled for 9.00 am and when I checked the weather at around 7.00 am the cloud ceiling was 700 ft and the minimum required is 1300 ft. for pattern work and other maneuvers we were planning to do. Since I didn’t receive a call from Jeremy by 8.06 am, I decided to call and he picked up the phone after two rings and I said, “Jeremy this is Tiger”. “Oh hey Tiger, I suppose you’re calling about the weather?” Jeremy replied. “Yes, I see that it’s overcast with mist and the cloud ceiling right now is at 700 ft and it’s not going to improve by much by the time we’ll be flying”. “Oh okay well let’s just go ahead and cancel then” he said. “Okay I’ll call the school and cancel the lesson” was my reply and then Jeremy said that he would do it and thanked me; end of converstation. Here’s today’s weather report from the aviation weather website:

I was a little disappointed that I wasn’t able to fly today as I had prepared (studied) for the maneuvers Jeremy had suggested. Not having flown today only gives me more time to do further studies and let’s see what tomorrow’s weather has in store for us.
