Scando,
Our ATC only corrects radar vectored alts, we have to do the math for the others.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">we add 500 ft
pr 10 knots of wind exceeding 30 knots (max 2000ft) during the initial letdown. Strong winds over mountaintops may create a local lowpressure that can give you a nasty surprise</font>
I don't have that many big hills around where I usually fly - I have heard that mountain wave can cause errors of up to 3000'. I haven't seen that mountain wave correction before. Do you have a source for those numbers?
Regards
CB
