Pilot Reports
By the way - I flew through that weather system on Friday. There was a lot of nervous chatter on the radio with the turbulence and thunderstorms associated with the front. It became obvious to me that ATC's radar was not cutting it when I got a vector right into a big red cell. I told them updated radar downloads
and could I navigate on my own? Permission was granted and I picked my way through it without incident and not so much as even moderate turbulance.
ATC asked me for PIREPS and then started vectoring aircraft in my path. It was very cool. I was completely in the soup for over an hour, just to duck out on the other end on the friendly side of an ILS.
