This brief video is from last Saturday. I took off for a short flight in reasonably good weather, only to return about 40 minutes later with the visibility reduced close to minimums at around 5-6km to the north of the aerodrome [where I was] and a little more to the south. Fun times?!!
Note around the 47 second mark where I pull the map out... I'm not lost, just checking the flight visibility by comparing what I can see vs what I should be able to see :-)
It was certainly a good reminder of how quickly the weather can change.

What a scenic place to fly, weather or not!
Love the use of a simple VNC too!
Thanks Andre. It is a lovely place to fly. This is one occasion where a physical map was easier than an electronic one. There were no questions of the scale of the map or layers being displayed :-)
Cheers, Rodney
Hi Rodney
That weather turned to crud pretty quickly. How close were you to Special VFR, do you think?
Cheers
Hi Andrew,
Yeah, it was quick. I had estimated at least 6km viz. Tower them estimated "5-6km to the north and 8-9 to the south". It was fine, but close to SVFR. I also had a viable option to go to PP is needed.
Cheers!
Rodney
