Mountain wave
Hit a mountain wave today near Pikes Peak at FL190 in my TR-182. First I
couldn't maintain FL190 (I only have 300-400 fpm climb at that altitude anyway) as my indicated airspeed descended to 80 K. Called ATC, got a block altitude, FL 180 - 200. About a minute later I needed the upside. Shot to over 2000 fpm climb (VSI was pegged) and with the nose pointed way down leveled off at FL 195 and ground speed of 190 knots. Fun stuff. Michael
