What Weather conditions are PPCs capable of flying in Safely?

Our advice to all PPC pilots is to never knowingly take off when conditions are beyond winds of 24kph (15 mph), and/or inconsistent wind speed and direction. Heavy gusting winds are simply not acceptable and are outside safe PPC flying parameters! No exceptions should be made to this rule. Be assured that violent weather conditions may induce a stalled wing – stalled wings do not fly – regardless of the type of aircraft.
