787 Pre-Flight Weather Briefing

| | Comments () | TrackBacks (0) |
Good Morning from Everett! A brief word about the weather here this morning north of Seattle.

Minimums for 787 to takeoff include 5000 foot ceilings and 5 SM visibility. Right now (8 AM) the Terminal Area Forecast shows broken clouds at 2200 feet and overcast at 3500 from 7 AM PT through to 11 AM. Beginning at 12 PM winds will be 6 kts at 150 with six miles visibility, scattered clouds at 1500 and overcast at 2500.

Boeing says that Mike Carriker and Randy Neville still plan to taxi out of Stall 105 around 9:45 AM for a 10 AM departure and will hold at the end of runway 34L until the weather clears. The company has until 2 PM before scrubbing first flight because the three-hour mark would bump up against darkness here in Washington state.
