Since we aren’t sure what was going on in the first 9 hours, we won’t be able to tell if those winds are okay for you or not. Certainly should have been ok for dual but we can’t mind-read from here so...
Also is the airplane schedule or the instructor’s schedule or yours really tight? When the airplane schedule isn’t tight anytime winds are forecast to die off like that, would it work out to just postpone an hour? I know at busy rental places that’s not always an option but later in life, that’s a real world pilot decision to remain within your personal limits or limits of the equipment. Good training to postpone and watch weather sometimes!
Maybe, juuuuuuust maybe... your instructor wanted YOU to notice the winds and text and say, “can we postpone until XX:XX - winds look high until then”...
At 9 hours I doubt it, but when we’re doing it right, we’re always shooting for making YOU into PIC, not us.
Anyway. Just for reference, there’s places where if you didn’t fly in winds you wouldn’t fly much at all. An old friend used to teach in Cheyenne, WY. He jokes, “I’ve soloed students in 30 knot winds straight down the runway because it’s all they ever flew in. They’d probably crash if the wind was calm!”
There’s another possibility too, you know. The instructor may be looking for a few nice days back to back to get you soloed before going on to other things. Personally I would say “go start the other things” but maybe they’re hung up on wanting to get you soloed.
That’s all up to you and your performance, though. They’re going to want to see solid airmanship before hopping out.
Also just out of curiosity ... Part 91 or Part 141? Following a club or mandatory syllabus? Just curious.
