Beautiful place Lord Howe Island.

Nice weather in Queensland after the rain last week. We cant complain.

From VH-RLB. IPC to YBSU via NMB for a VOR-B and RNAV LNAV+V.

Why a Twin Rating is a Great Thing. Coming back from Arlie Beach to Redcliffe and tracking via the Great Barrier Reef to Redcliffe. Over the Reef for 5 hours and never above 1000’.

Why you should get an Instrument Rating.
The weather forecasts are getting worst (less accurate). A case in point: Redcliffe to Arlie Beach (YBPN).
The aviation forecast was for no cloud, showers, rain or thunderstorms…but that is exactly what we got.
Brisbane to Rockhampton we maintained “up to 30 NM right of track” and north of Rockhampton “up to 20 NM left of track”.
BOM forecasting needs to improve but pilots should invest in an Instrument Rating.
