Risk Assessment: Student Solo with Showers in the Vicinity
thinking about risk as a cfi with a solo student

To help learn ADM and risk assessment, I require solo students to get permission before they fly. (PPR.)

A student recently wanted to fly solo in the traffic pattern with showers in the vicinity (VCSH). The winds were calm and the ceilings were high, but rain is a real concern.

Is it safe to fly as a student solo with rain showers in the vicinity?
