Sorry folks, don't mind me, this is all to technical for my fragile little mind, however way way back Bertie Thruster asked
Why is it always bumpier flying (at the same IAS) into wind than it is going downwind?
My take on that is, compare the movement of air to the movement of the sea, if you ever sail into wind you are going to hit the wave head on and ramp over, but if you are sailing downwind its seems very smooth beacuse the wave is catching up with you, and you are basically surfing down wave,
Won't butt in on the curent debate, I am of the opinion of just be sensible be aware and just fly the damn thing.
