Adapting Plans mid-Flight due to Weather Risks: Cold Front Ice Pellets | Cessna 172-R Skyhawk

For this winter flight I had planned a visit to Texel Wadden Island, via a low approach at EHTX, to make it back in time before the UDP ending. In the meteo reports it was forcasted that a cold front would be approaching from the North Sea with potential hazardous ice pellets and a leading airmass with undercooled moisture, which would arrive later than my planned ETA. However, upon arriving at the corridor near Den Helder, I could see that the cold front was already above Texel. In order to avoid any risks I decided to adapt my plan on-the-fly and continue over the Norh-Holland province instead. I finished the flight with two circuits only moments before actual sunset. You do not often get to fly in semi-dark conditions and get to see the runway lights (or aircraft/cockpit lights for that matter) so clearly. For me, this was a beautiful and humbling sight! ••• Timestamps ••• 00:00 - Departure EHLE 17:54 - Trip to Texel 38:45 - Adapting trip 01:14:12 - Arrival EHLE 01:16:00 - Circuits 1x T&G & landing ••• Flight ••• Registration: PH-STZ Aircraft: Cessna 172-R Skyhawk (1997) Departure: Lelystad Airport - EHLE Arrival: Lelystad Airport - EHLE DOF: 2022/DEC ••• Gear ••• Headset: David Clark H10-13.4 Kneeboard: Design4Pilots i-Pilot TABLET Video: GoPro Hero 4 Session Audio: Sony ICD-PX470 Cable: NFlightCam SKU430 (fixed-wing) Filter: Andoer ND2 Filter Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e FPS: SkyDemon ••• References ••• My visited airports: https://maphub.net/PilotNando/map Flight school: https://www.vliegschool-hilversum.nl/ Flight school: https://www.zelfvliegen.nl/ ••• Disclaimer ••• The purpose of "this video, its contents and other related material" (hereinafter: vlog) is to provide entertainment and information for the public with regards to flying and aviation in general.
