Ok thx. Interesting posts.
I cannot with 100 % certainty say if i did gain and loose height for real or not. 100feet is not much. But it sure felt strange because i remember noticing the very instant altitude readings and i was thinking at the moment, shouldnt i feel this.

The instruments else works fine and exact.

The water blocking is one theory because it was some heavy rain indeed.

Interesting.

Anyhow no matter what actually happened or what size is defined as CB or not i am more intersted in how you decide what weather to go imc in or not. The hardest one for me is when the weather reports cumulus and some you can see in the afternoon starts to build, and one or more occasional showers. But no reported CBs yet. Do you go imc in that weather?

If there is isolated CBs do you go imc and then around the CBs if you see them?

I guess embedded CBs you avoid and go visual?

Thanks!
