I think many computers (or software) counts for wind variations due altitude.



You think? For example?


SeeYou Mobile.




For flying in convective conditions this is just plain wrong and misleading.



Actually, it can and often does change significantly

(out in USA west for example). But, the more important

input to final glide is completely differing wind on

final glide from the point the glide is planned (think

final glides to Minden or Gawler, or any mountain site).



Hope that helps,

If you find sounding taken from a) flatland, b) during afternoon, c) with convective conditions, and d) wind changing direction and strength within convective layer, I would be more than interested in seeing it.

I have limited knowledge of Australian or western US geography, but I probably wouldn't classify Minden or areas east of Gawler flatland.
