Broken winds

Winds really broken at Japan sea (FL360). I almost got a violation for overspeed and almost stalled twice. Winds vary very fast from 120kias to 0.

Wdym by “broken” - can you elaborate on what happened? The winds are very powerful in that region at this time of year.

I mean this

It seems there was just an update to the winds as they broke a few days ago:

This “update” is possibly what you experienced.

It’s at 0 now, don’t know if it was supposed to be like this but the variation stopped

Winds are completely dead still

yeah they’re fixing it. I’m at FL350 and have 0 knots of wind lol, not complaining tho still 17 hours to go

The wind has just reappeared over the Northeast US.

In a case like this, would violations garnered be appealable? I can’t imagine losing or gaining 60+ knots of airspeed is a fun time.

In theory, yes. We would.
Fortunately, though, not a single user received any violation :) We just checked.

That’s lucky.

Sorry about this everyone, it’s all good now :)

You’re all getting brand new winds from a brand new and improved server :D

Woah, this just happened to me flying from Incheon to Taipei. Was cruising at FL400 and suddenly boom, overspeed warnings as the winds went from 100+ to 0. Luckily was near my device. But I panicked so I left the flight anyway as I didn’t know how long since the overspeed warning went off haha 🤣
