Weather Risk Factors

Low ceilings or cloud layers below personal minimums

Reduced visibility (fog, haze, smoke, precipitation)

Strong or gusty surface winds (>15 kt sustained)

Crosswind component exceeds comfort or personal minimums

Wind shear reported or forecast (LLWS, microburst)

High density altitude (>7,500 ft or above aircraft POH limits)

Deteriorating conditions forecast (TAF shows worsening trend)

Conditions marginal — borderline go/no-go
