I just departed EGLL heading south to Geneva currently ascending through fl260 and the winds and turbulence are rocking me from side to side
Anyone else?

I just checked windy.com and it looks very windy over the English channel.

Have a safe flight!

Thanks

8knts, 14knts not windy, its very normal day.

@Jakub_Astary yeh, at high altitude you get very windy…when you land all goes away.

Did you check at FL260? Because that’s where the pilot was.

GatwickGuy · June 4, 2019, 3:43pm

It doesn’t matter where you fly in IF the winds picks up high altitude. You dont have to call go around at FL200 :D

Here is the report for FL240

GatwickGuy · June 4, 2019, 4:05pm

You sure it was 128kts wind? You shouldn’t be taxiing your aircrafts.

Tomjet073 · June 4, 2019, 4:24pm
