Hooknswoop 19 #176 December 13, 2003 QuoteAloft? Ok. Does your term "Aloft" refer to uppers? Winds Aloft is the correct term for the wind speed/direction from usually 3,000 feet on up in 3,000 ft increments. "Uppers" or "Upper Winds" is slang for Winds Aloft. For example: FT 3000 6000 9000 12000 18000 24000 30000 34000 39000 PHX 9900 3608+06 3417+02 3121-02 3132-16 3239-28 335443 337253 327362 For Phoenix, the winds aloft at 12,000 ft MSL are out of 310 degress at 21 knots and the temperature is minus 2 degrees C.

airbigdaddy 0 #179 January 6, 2004 Please don't let this thread die.......It has been, by far, the greatest waste of time I have experienced in a LONG time. I do beg that if anyone who has never visited our wonderful DZ has formed a poor perception of it from these silly ramblings, PLEASE don't come and visit. If you are that impressionable, you and I should not hang out because your mother would not like the naughty things you would learn from me.-Lambert- "It's better to be looked over than overlooked."

bigfritz 0 #182 January 7, 2004 LOL bigdaddy. I don't get how you landed 2 miles away from the DZ? At 13,000 you should have way more than enough time to get back. ------------------------ Freefly, baby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
