You've asked me you to give one good reason you could get caught out near the ground yet in your next sentence "crop along the upwind side of the runway can cause a sudden drop in wind speed" which to me is one good reason! . Yes you do have to fly with sufficient speed to compensate for this but as people have said earlier they have been in a situation where their ISA got worrying low. My point was it's not always something you have control over but be prepared!
Sorry but I've missed you point!
'Twas a typo - should have read "Littco give
s one good reason". I was agreeing with you (or at least, trying to)!
