Lee Turbulence
I am interested in hearing from the guru's on techniques for flying on the lee side of hills/mountains in a stiff wind - i.e. the area of turbulence, standing waves and rotor action. Or perhaps more correctly, avoiding standing waves and rotor action, while flying in the lee of a mountain.
I have read through the mountain flying threads, where there were brief discussions concentrating on lee turbulence, but I would love to hear experiences etc of others in this area. I have done a bit of flying among serious mountains in the tropics, but none in the alpine areas where it can get quite blowy. When in Europe last, I wanted to take a tourist helo ride, but they canned it when the wind got above 30kts (from memory), so I missed out on the experience as a passenger too.
If I have missed such a previous discussion - mea culpa, and could you please point me in that direction?
