or about the minimum visibility and cloud clearance requirements
for VFR flight.


Neither of my primary instructors ever said anything to me about
t'storms. The first one reviewed VFR weather requirements with me to be
sure I was ready for the knowledge test, but that was it.

This is my pet peeve about flight instruction as I see it being
practiced: at least around here, it's all about the checkride. The
practical day-to-day business of safe flying, i.e. what pilots really
should and should not do to get where they're going alive, gets left
out.
