My most memorable experience ofwave, was a few years ago overhead St Andrews.
Leuchars had given me a matzclearance at 1,500’ to fly over the town and the old course.
During the flight, I thought theVSI had become possessed, as it was fluctuating from 1,000 fpm up, to 1,000 fpmdown. I found myself needing full power nose-down in the lift, and full powernose-up in the sink, just to maintain the 1,500’ clearance.
It was quite a ride, and comingfrom East Anglia, a completely new experience for me.
