There are often high winds in Northern Canada although i’ve heard about the wind a just West of my home airport (YSSY).

Unless your lucky and pick up a jet stream.

Very true getting up to around FL300+.

Can you update mine to 154?

I will when I get around to it and have time, patience please!

I got mine over the Andes and man are those some strong winds
