Vintage Snazzy (so my adult children say)
Had a 2 hour x country flight today. Pre planning showed a nice 15 kt tail wind.
I kept experiencing pulsing climbs and decents. Plane would bob up 100 feet Count to 4, then down, then up. My ground speed was constantly chaotic. 145 kts - 130. Back to 135. Up to 144. Down to 128.
Winds were 15 knots tail all the way up to 10,000. Non matter what altitude - 5500, 7500, 9500 - couldn’t get off of this rocking cruise ship.
I’ve not had this before - what was it?
Plane was a 182, 3 people, some luggage, full fuel at departure. Engine manifold and prop set for standard cruise, all running normal.
