Heard on frequency during some nasty weather, a beech 18 night freight pilot offered a report about his current situation…
ATC: Copy. Care to offer a PIREP?
Beech: Sure. At 12,000, we’ve got lightning … cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-ground … so far, negative cloud-to-airplane-to-ground…
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A Beech 18 night freight pilot reported severe weather conditions, including widespread lightning (cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground), at 12,000 feet during a night flight.
- The pilot humorously concluded the PIREP by stating that, so far, his aircraft had not been struck by lightning ("negative cloud-to-airplane-to-ground").
