MAY 5, 2025
Flying in the clouds in a single engine airplane when the OAT is below freezing is not a good idea! The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component. The OAT immediately shot up to +5 degrees C. We were free!

It’s technically an IFR procedure, but can be used by any pilot to assure clearance from obstacles. Pressure altitudes were converted to density altitude.
