Not necessarily debunking or confirming what he said in his video, just giving a little extra insight about the issue seeing as it may be something you've had direct experience dealing with, or not.

Years ago I was flying to New York with my family. We were in a trijet (I can't remember which one, I believe DC-10) and everything was going fine until we came in for a landing. Right as we were about to touch down, an enormous, deep *BANG* erupted above my head and the cabin lights went out and came back on again. The landing went smoothly, and the captain explained on the intercom that when landing the high angle would cause the plane's body to block airflow to the tail engine, which in this case was bad enough that the engine couldn't maintain pressure and blew out forward, something I later looked up and found out is called "compressor stall." The captain said it happened fairly often and isn't dangerous, but that sure seemed to me like a violent thing to happen during the critical part of a landing. Was he saying that just to make us feel better, or are these normal things that planes do now and again? This was just a stopover and we were scheduled to take the same plane the rest of the way, so after we got off I sat and watched the plane as we waited for the next flight, and it appeared that they had to run some tests on that engine - they revved it up to full speed and let it run that way for a bit, for example. What kinds of tests do you usually have to run on an engine that's done something suspicious like that? Also, I think a video on compressor stall or other abnormal engine behaviors would be very interesting, by the way :) Keep up the great work, really enjoy the videos!

I completed the medicals, phone tests and entry aptitude tests and was due to start training for 18 months at BA’s Oxford UK school. I was due to start around October / November 2001 and BA said I’d have to work a minimum of 4 years for them or pay back a percentage of training funds, and would fly 737 of that time, short and medium haul. Well, 9/11 happened and 2 weeks later, BA phoned me and said because I hadn’t already started at Oxford they couldn’t take me on because the downturn in consumer aviation put BA back financially. I was gutted. By now I could be flying anything.

Our highest mountain in Australia is 2,228 meters. But when we get a good 40kt westerly wind, you can often see those lenticular clouds forming and its a good day to be staying on the ground.

Petter, you mentioned in one of your videos that some airports monitor for noise. How do you mitigate noise. One time when flying out of Chicago (ORD) the pilot announced that he was taking off (on a very long runway) without flaps and at a higher ground speed for noise abatement. He then climbed at a very steep rate, leveled off at some low altitude and reduced thrust to minimum over residential, then increased thrust again and continued to climb. I was sitting over the wing and was quite concerned when I saw no flaps. But the pilot's PA (right before takeoff roll) was very informative and comforting. What do you do for noise abatement (maybe discuss it in a video)? (I'm not a pilot but good at math an physics. I enjoy your videos)

We would like it if we see more videos about those things that happen but we don't think much about them. Weather plays a huge role in how aircraft can fly. And any non smooth wind vectors (a vector is a number with direction, for wind that would be its velocity vector at each point in space so there is a huge number of vectors) can be a source of issues for pilots.

One can experience problems with katabatic winds as well while at sea. I was on a huge cruise ship sailing the Antarctic peninsula when suddenly the captain had to turn the ship around on a dime (and did!). Within the peninsula the winds were blowing down the mountainsides onto each side of the ship. I have photos of the waves blown flat on the ocean surface. The captain was afraid that the winds would carry the ship into uncharted waters so rather than risk that in Antarctica he decided to turn the ship around completely. I somehow got stuck outside on the deck during most of this and I promise you it was crazy. The ship was leaning so hard to one side I could not open the doors to get back in. Not realizing my danger I was happily shooting images the whole while. Anyway, I personally experienced these winds at sea and can only imagine what they would be like in the air. Glad you guys are aware of their dangers.

Some have been reported as fantastically large alien motherships emitting strobe and blinking lights upon us mere hapless earthlings!

Great job on the vid, very informative as always. Quick que though...You said that once the tailwind component turns to "still air," it's the equivalent of picking up as much as 30 knots of airspeed. If you have a tailwind which suddenly turns to still air, essentially eliminating the tailwind, wouldn't that cause your airspeed to drop rather than increase? I'm certain that I either misunderstood you or there's something simple that I'm missing, but if you could clear that up for me all the same I'd really appreciate it. Thanks & again, you do a fantastic job with these vids.
@Smingleflorp

The change passing through the layer is in the indicated airspeed, or IAS. That is the rate that air is flowing over the craft, not the plane’s speed in relation to the ground. So, crossing the layer is equivalent to a 30 (or so) kph headwind. The danger, I believe, arises from the possibility that such a rapid change from rear to headwinds can confuse an unaware pilot into massively cutting power when they see the rise in IAS and then stalling (which at 500 feet is a death sentence). Another possibility is that if they were unaware of this weather condition and had already extended flaps and slats, then this massive change in the wind could cause enough force to tear the flaps off the plane. Also a very bad situation at any altitude. I think these are two of the main reasons why this phenomena can be dangerous, but I must admit I am not a pilot so I could be wrong.

I have always understood that lenticular clouds are an indicator of a steady wind, not necessarily a strong wind though it might be, but a steady wind giving rise to standing wave downstream of the mountain. Don't dispute what you say about the dangers of turbulence from the Tramontana but not sure I agree with your linking lenticulars to turbulence. In my experience wave flying is unbelievable smooth, though the up and the down flows can be very pronounced indeed.
