Wasn't that fun? I went up last night and did 4 instrument approaches in
the Archer. Outbound for the procedure turn at CWA I slowed up to 90 indicated and the ground speed showed 58. On the turn inbound for the ILS 08 it shot up to 134. We slid down the slope with about a 14 degree wind correction and a reduced power setting of only 1500 rpms to maintain a 650 ft per minute decent. The further down the slope we got the less the wind was so we had to keep increasing power, decreasing rate of descent and taking out the crab. Surface winds were only about 6 knot but winds at 3000 were 240 @ 45. I suprised myself by keeping up with the changing wind and nailing the approach right down to minimums. Winds aloft for today (Sunday) are even higher, but surface winds are only about 9 right now. Jim
