Is anyone able to provide insight on changes in altitude in order to assess weather.
There's been a lot said about whether the a/c climbed, deviated (left), both, or neither. And it seems generally accepted that you don't try outclimb a thunderstorm.
I vaguely recall hearing about climbing to let AWAR get a better angle, and thus a better reading, may be a good tactic to help decide if/how to weave through the Swiss cheese.
Anyone here able to elaborate whether this is legitimate strategy, foolhardy, or something in between?
Thanks
