Landing at Teesside (which I used to do a lot in the past) would be
quite
fun in those conditions. Probably a rotor effect giving quite a rough
ride
and major attention to power settings on the approach. Oh the good
old
days. Used to enjoy conditions like that! (Not so sure about the
passengers though)


.... how much training is provided for these events Jack? Are modern
simulators equipped to provide the right conditions at each (simulator)
airport to allow new pilots to get used to them before going 'live'?

On a different note, large road vehicles also can have problems with
these conditions, along with caravans etc. You don't get any training
for *that* AFAIK!
