November 1, 200223 yr Commercial Member "You will get better climb rates with a head wind"Not really, Rob. The distance you will have covered over the ground in the time will be shorter but the rate (expressed time) will be the same.Regards,Mark Mark Foti Author of aviaworx - https://www.aviaworx.com
November 2, 200223 yr StratusSounds like this happens to every fellow wanna-solo-be! As it certainly happened to me. 2 months of really bad weather I was even going as far as thinking nature didn't want me to go solo :( for some strange reason!Anyway, enjoy it when the day comes along, you'll never forget it!
November 2, 200223 yr OBK,I was not trying to flame or be arrogant. I mentioned that someone may chime in r.e. the affects of weather only to highlight that I was not 100% sure of my observation/comment. Sorry you took it that way. Rob.

November 2, 200223 yr Affirm - I was not precise in my statement...the distance to T/C will shorten with headwinds/lack of tailwinds.Rob.
