September 13, 201213 yr Hi guys, I hope you can help with the follow problems. I was flying IFR in Australia from Canberra to Coffs Harbor -- ActiveSky succesfully injected winds at FL330 at 273/100, so a windy day in Australia. As I descended, though ActiveSky and ATIS at Coffs Harbor reported the winds at the destination airport at 350/17. Now here's the problem - throughout my entire approach (including short finals) the winds remained pegged at > 100 kts!! So my question is, why didn't the winds transition slowly throughout my descent from FL330 all the way down to sea-level. Note, that the winds aloft for 6K, 9K and 12K were forecast quite low (e.g. 20 kts)... though as I descended I didn't experience of these changes, and the winds remained very fast. Can you please advise what I may have missed? (I'm using AS Evolution SP3) Thank you, Sam Kharey
September 13, 201213 yr Are you running DWC enabled?? This is the usual for using that option. Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
September 13, 201213 yr I run dwc only and the wind transitions correctly. I found if you do run dwc do not run fsuipc wind smoothing. This will cause what you are seeing unless you open up fsuipc and then close it you will see the correct wind. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2 Sean Green
