Highlights the danger of climbing in VS mode especially at high alittude and especially single pilot.
That pilot examining high level wind charts at a crucial point approaching his cruise level was the deal breaker.
IAS mode is far safer as at least it will protect the pilot from getting to slow.
Never understood why this pilot diverted back into Leeds when he had a massive flat runway with a major Citation service centre in Doncaster.
Leeds is know for its altitude, low cloud, strong winds, poor visibility, undulating runway and down draughts while from his direction Doncaster was closer and far better on a number of counts for a diversion.
