Ceiling & Visibility
.
How much airspace do I have between the reported/forecast ceilings and the terrain along my route of flight? Does this information suggest any need to change my planned altitude?
.
If I have to fly lower to remain clear of clouds, will terrain be a factor?
.
How much ground clearance will I have?
.
Do I have reliable ceiling information?
.
Will I be over mountainous terrain or near large bodies of water where the weather can change rapidly, or where there may not be a nearby weather reporting station?
.
What visibility can I expect for each phase of flight (departure, enroute, destination)?
.
Given the speed of the aircraft, expected light conditions, terrain, and ceilings, are the reported and forecast visibility conditions sufficient for this trip?
.
Are there conditions that could reduce visibility during the planned flight? (Hint: look for indications such as a small and/or decreasing temperature/dew point spread).
.
Are reported and forecast ceiling & visibility values above my personal minimums?
