This may be simular to an EFATO turn back and what may be encountered -
When I do fixed wing or Heli cattle mustering, I encounter what I think of as a rolling turbulence (Roller) that travels with the prevailing wind.
In the Super cub, when I do a come back turn to keep the pressure on an animal,[ once I have the aircraft pionted down hill ] I sometimes get the down side of this roller and see the effect of a rapid increase in ground speed and desent, yet a fixed airspeed (Due to the position of the main herd and other facters, a musterer can not always operate into wind)
What I do in windy conditions to compensate for rollers and wind shear, is to manuver at a faster airspeed, then if all is right when pointed down hill, I do a full slip to slow down if needed.
