- Called Kamloops FIC weather brief, was told the route from Chilliwack to Pitt Meadow was OK for VFR. There was no PIREP. Called ATIS, all airports along the route were above minimum VFR, with Langley at 3 miles, Pitt Meadows at 5 miles.
Didn't look bad at Chilliwack airport as well. I decided to fly back. Comparing to other options, this seemed to be the easiest, may not be the safest though.
Once in the air, I started to feel the condition was a bit of above my comfort level. The issue was with the windshield. It fogged up a bit. Rain drops also tended to stick to the front, not sliding off the window fast enough. So my view looking forward was not clear. No wipers to help with this. I had to constantly move my head left and right, looking at an angle through the side window.
Being able to land on the water, my best option was to fly low and follow the Fraser River west bound. Nobody else was flying, absolute silence over the Radio. Which was good, I didn't need to worry any mid-air collision with another plane.
Be careful out there.
