Reply #139: There wouldn't be anything unusual about cancelling the flights anyway

[MajorChode]

I have canceled two flights myself in the past three days. I canceled one today because there was a maintenance issue with my plane. A part that I recently had replaced caused the intercom to malfunction and I needed the intercom to do instrument training. I canceled another flight two days ago due to severe weather that blocked my destination.

In the past year I have canceled over a dozen flights for various things. Any general aviation pilot who flies regularly will have similar stories. If there is something questionable about the plane, you don't fly. If there is something questionable about the weather, you don't fly. It's not the same thing as the airlines that have spare planes, an army of full time mechanics that can fix problems at a moments notice and can fly at altitudes well above the weather.
