Updraft/downdraft velocities

The vertical wind speeds in this graph have been derived from the recorded AoA, pitch attitude and the aircraft horizontal and vertical speed components. The calculation is very sensitive to small errors in AoA and pitch attitude, and should therefore perhaps not be taken too seriously.
