Weather drives Bumpy Flight's chaos loop. The events below cover what the community has observed and how the Weather Impact Analyzer models them.
Lowest airspeed variance (~2%) and lowest recommended minimum control speed. Use it to learn the basics.
Headwind / crosswind components of 22-48 kt by altitude band. Recommended minimum speed buffer rises ~30%.
Wind 38-62 kt by altitude band, airspeed variance ~14%, vertical gust factor ~1.6. Apply the standard FAR 23 reserve above stall.
Wind 30-58 kt, variance ~12%, similar vertical gust profile to storm. Recommended minimum speed climbs ~35%.
Wind 26-34 kt, variance ~10%. Lower altitude bands see most of the penalty, making landing the hardest phase.
