While getting ready to fire up up your Cessna 172 for a VFR cross-country flight from New Jersey’s Cape May County Airport to Erie, Pennsylvania, you must be prepared to deal with pop-up thunderstorms, deteriorating weather, on-board and ATC radar realities, and fuel concerns. You’ll have to make critical go/no-go decisions thorughout this 300-nm route. If you’re interested in experiencing where your decisions lead, then this course is for you. You’ll even have the option to try different flight paths to see the various scenarios based on your decisions. Please join us for this discussion as we delve into the impact of each go/no-go decision on this hypothetical flight!
