Slow day at the FSS?
I’m a student at Daniel Webster College, and one particularly nasty winter morning last year I was calling the briefer before my 7AM flight…
Me: Good morning this is N—DW, I’d like a standard VFR brief for the Nashua area and …
Briefer (cutting me off): You’re not going anywhere this morning except back to bed.
(pause)
… Still want your briefing?
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A student pilot called FSS for a 7 AM VFR briefing on a severe winter morning.
- The briefer immediately interrupted the pilot, declaring that flying was impossible and he should go back to bed.
- The briefer then sardonically asked if the pilot still desired a briefing, highlighting the extreme unsuitability of the weather.
