I am curious. Are there trees or structures that blank out the wind at this airfield?

High Sink Rates and recovery from said high sink rates takes a handful of power and a sharp eye.

at KIAD (dulles airport washington dc) there is a "high sink rate" area when landing south on one six left... trees blank the wind. If you are ready for it a handful of thrust can save the landing.
