It is a particularly insidious phenomenon that can be a prime cause of turbulence. Can cause sudden losses or gains in indicated airspeed (IAS), directly affecting lift. This is a handy in-cockpit estimation technique. This rapid change can occur with height or across a horizontal expanse.

In another incident, an air carrier pilot noticed an unusual reading on the cockpit oxygen gauge during preflight (this sounds vague, which is one of the negative aspects of the making the data base anonymous). The pilot wrote that there was a rough air and a possible wake turbulence encounter.

Garmin G1000 Garmin SVS has been an optional feature of the popular G1000 glass cockpit system since 2008. SmartView also provides the standard compass, attitude indicator, airspeed, and altitude scales. So is the Pilatus PC-24’s Advanced Cockpit Environment suite. Garmin has been improving it ever since.

One more gadget in the cockpit cannot remedy deficits in skill, judgement, and attitude. That produced a strange traffic pattern with roller coasters at the corners.) In my own flying career, I’ve seen plenty of small airport pilots unconcerned with safety messages, to put it mildly.

Without knowing the horizontal wind direction and speed at this point it is impossible to say what his indicated airspeed was. At the high density altitude at Rifle a ground speed of 92 kt would have been equivalent to an indicated airspeed of less than 80 kt.
