Pace,thank you, I'm aware that the wind speed increases and changes direction with height

Thought you were aware but used this thread to highlight flying in gusty, windshear conditions. I have flown with pilots who use the surface wind gust speeds for their approach speed from maybe 2500 feet and 6 miles out with ASI fluctuations of 10-15 kts in up and down air currents. SCARY.
