Regionals - Second Day - Tasks set

The clearance has arrived at the airfield along with the brisk SW'erly winds. Nils confirmed that it's going to be quite a good day with thermals expected with 3-4kts. Cloudbase anticipated to be 3500-4000' with a risk of it lowering later in the day if there's any mid-level spreadout. As the day goes on there's also a decreasing risk of showers.
