SITREP - 2006-04-26
EHM-0654 Murray:
If it's cumulus cloud induced turbulence (ActiveSky user Javier?) you can attempt to descend under it or climb over it (climbing is the more "difficult" option because cumulus cloud is associated with updrafting), assuming there is sufficient "room" above/below the cloud cover. As they say in the real-world, cumuloform clouds are a pilots worst enemy, since they are usually associated with large air movement, and in all three dimensions.
And as for shear, the term can be applied to any sudden wind not from the general wind direction. Many US fields suffer from shear as a result of local building effects... The terms that are specific to vertical wind movements are up and down drafts
EHM-1001 Robert:
I think it happens only in an F-16 fighter, and in movies, like Iron Eagle, that the plane will be more stable at higher speed...but surely will not happen on a DC-3 ;)

Oh BALLS!!! Sorry guys, like Phil i didn't read the above page before locking my first leg and have just realised i flew Tim's plane!! Sorry Tim, i did take good care of her. I have now locked my own craft for the second leg, sorry for mistake guys and happy flying.
EHM-1199 Philip:
Ditto Jim ... my own plane is now locked ready for leg 2. (BTW ... I also took good care of the first plane despite a foray into slightly wild moves through experimenting with the autopilot.)
