Gusting_45, Thank you for that answer.

That basically summed up what happened on my flight.
I was also in front of the wing, (not as far forward as yourself) but the rush of wind sound and perceived altitude drop was definitely disconcerting. The crew were given a warning and DID react accordingly.

So it looks like it was a definite change in wind speed/direction, which could be any of windshear, wake turbulence or just the weather. As I stated it was certainly not a clear , calm, sunny day on that approach to Manila.

Thank you very much for your informed answer. That is all I asked for. It never phases me, but I just like to have an idea, why, what, when and for....

Looking forward to my next flights, Man-Doh-Mnl to see the birth of my first child and to marry my girlfriend .

Easy or Ryan, or am I confused? :-)

Thank you.
