In this video we start to make our way back to the UK; the weather conditions are less than ideal. There is icing forecast around FL100 and a fairly solid overcast extending to around the same level or higher and some fairly heavy embedded weather. Since we are not carrying oxygen today we decide to make a short-ish hop to Troyes to assess the situation for ourselves before we commit to the longer trip back to the UK via Le Touquet.
The forecast for the top of the overcast was slightly pessimistic in the GFS model and we do eventually manage to climb on top without picking up any ice.
Aircraft is a 2013 Diamond DA40 NG fitted with Garmin G1000 displays and GFC 700 auto-pilot. The aircraft is operated by Sue Air who have a fleet of four superbly maintained Diamond aircraft (DA40 and DA42) based at Gloucester and North Weald.
