August 8, 201312 yr Kinda to add to the OP Not sure if you guys know of this, but sometimes when I am in a certain mood, I go to www.badbadweather.com they have actual weather reports for places all over the world that have the "best" IMC weather to fly in for different types of conditions. Check it out. Sent from my Apple communications device. William Sequeira

August 8, 201312 yr It's not your bandwidth so why worry about who makes what thread? I swear, I've watched so many with poor attitudes show up here since I joined going on 10 years ago and ridicule those who make threads that they don't see value in. With that being said, if I wasn't on a 48-hour shift, I'd gladly play in those winds. That's pretty intense. Chase Barnett
August 8, 201312 yr From the OP's message: "26011G43KT" That's real wind gusts- 11 knots gusting to 43, a difference of 32 knots. Try and land manually with variation in wind speed- especially in a C172 with an approach speed of around 70 knots,32 knots is almost one-half of the landing speed..... I might clip this into a GLOB file for OPUS and try it.. Thanks jc.... Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
