GDay,
Have been in that position in an L13 (Blanik) in lee wave, climbed to
top of the roll cloud 10000 amsl, foehn gap about 150 metres wide. Wind
stopped. Foehn gap closed. Cloud base 2000 agl. Had sighted ground and
knew position relative to known hills. Extended brakes fully, trimmed
for 30 deg down and popped out the bottom with no fuss.
Very forgiving aeroplane the Blanik. Can verify previous reference to
speed of closure of gap.
Cheers
Henell
