Question about flying in high winds

General
1

Hi

I’m currently flying Dublin - JFK (Just leaving west side of Ireland now) and due to the 71kt wind I’m only going about 140/h…

Any suggestions?

Currently at 32,400ft & descending slowly since any attempt to move upwards fails… I’m fairly new to this so any advice is appreciated! At this rate I’ll be at JFK in days haha

Thanks

An altitude of 340 should do and a speed of 0.82. I would recommend using sim brief as it calculates the winds and all that to give you the best and quickest route.

Hi!
A website like windy.com can be handy to know where the winds are so you can avoid them.

I was flying the exact opposite route in a C750 today! Crazy tailwinds though.
