We actually have a wing memo around here someplace about the minimum temp for training missions. The real SARs having some lee-way.I just looked and can't find the memo But -20F sounds about right. It might be only -10F for training...I know I have flown lots of non-CAP Cessnas and Cubs at 20 below and they work alright. Although flying my Cubs have required bunny boots and Carhart coveralls at those temps since my doors ner sealed up very well.Of course we preheat the engine and instruments A LOT... Plus we use 5-50 synthetic oil...
Heard you folks had 72 inches of snow thus far this winter.Mild one, I guess!!!
