Is it Safe to Fly When its SNOWING?

In my new caravan I travel to Wiltshire for a 3 hour XC to Bath but get caught in a heavy snow shower!

Really enjoying the snappy editing Mark. Love the fact you can now go FLY-VANNING. Brilliant as always.

[@markallisonparamotor]

Can't wait for some warmer weather now and I can put the caravan on the airfield. 😁

Another great video Mark
had nice memories of Barbury castle used to ride horses along the Rigeway to there back in 1973 when stationed at RAF Lyneham

[@markallisonparamotor]

great flight, very entertaining!

[@markallisonparamotor]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@krishampton7060]

So cool 👌🏻

[@timtaylor675]

Another great video Mark, GoPro mount worked well. Why does the Hadron and Atom combo have such a long take off run?

[@markallisonparamotor]

The Hadron is a fast wing so needs more speed on take-off, and the Atom is under powered compared to the Moster.

[@timtaylor675]

Saw you were using heated gloves, tried the heated jacket/gillet yet?

[@markallisonparamotor]

​@@timtaylor675 I wear two merino wool layers, a mountain down jacket and a flying suit, so feel I don't need that. It looks a bit fiddly too, so don't bother.

[@timtaylor675]

Cool (no pun intended) just wondered what you thought and polling opinion.

[@corycardwell]

Nice gas mileage! I'm lucky to get 4 litters an hour. -- Cool location to fly!

[@markallisonparamotor]

Yep the Atom is great on fuel.

[@joelkPPG]

I have a video on my channel flying in the snow. I could actually watch it building up in the cells of the wing. It was a short flight. @joelkPPG

[@markallisonparamotor]

Very interesting that snow was able to get in the cells 😮

[@clearprop]

@@markallisonparamotor I know a pilot was killed in the mid 90s whilst flying in snow in the UK (documented in 'Touching Cloudbase' which was the definitive training guide at the time). Not sure if, in those days, the wider cell openings allowed easier entry for the snow, but I know his wing stalled out as the trailing edge deflected downwards owing to the weight. Still, looks like you weren't in the snow for long anyway. Maybe just something to avoid (as if you wouldn't anyway!). Cheers Mark, another enjoyable video. 🙂👍
