We brought a plane from Newark, NJ 2 days ago. We were scheduled to take another plane back to Newark, NJ today at noon local time. But, after getting packed and out to the airport and the airplane, the weather set in.
We need a 3 mile visibility and 1000 ft ceiling to depart Oscoda. Well we only had a visibility of 1 3/4 miles and a ceiling of 400 feet. Not quite what we are looking for. Plus forecast is for thunderstorms this afternoon.
So after spending a few hours sitting on the plane, they sent us back to the hotel to wait out the weather.
Looks like we will try this all over again later this afternoon or evening.
Plus they wanted me to continue the trip on to Leige, Belgium with another Captain and First Officer. Don't think that is going to happen now. We are limited by "duty time" the number of hours that we can be on duty, not necessarily flying time.
