My 2 cents Paul, but I would change the minimums for this maneuver to 1500 agl.

This is the flying environment you deal when flying with Birds of Paradise: http://goo.gl/oHSRxV. I don't think you can predict weather (micro weather). You can only assume that it could be nasty.Comment on "Test Pilot, Noël Perrier proving the Pegasus's ability to fly!"
Anne, Oh yes, cant wait for tomorrow - will be flying the whole day - clear weather for a change - we have had very cold wet and windy weather lately. Had to sort out the comms and radio, but all are working fine now, so I can now concentrate on enjoying the new flying experience!
