Encounters with low weather aren’t an everyday occurrence, but it just takes a tepid spring day to set the stage. Mix in moist, stable air, add a light aircraft and toss in a PIC with get-there-itis and you have it. So it should be no surprise for this flight to end well short of both destination and alternate, the latter just off the wing but out of reach. The only option is a far-flung diversion you’re not ready for. Better get started.
