Ok ,Today I was flying Airbus 300 from Okecie (Poland) to Frankfurt/Main
and about 50 miles from Frankfurt the weather went realy bad ,I mean bad .Winds up to 60mph , but the worst thing was turbulences. My plane was going up and down like a toy. So I knew the flight will end in crash ,and yes it happend .About 10 miles from airport ,I had stall because of a severe wind ,The plane was going from 3,000 FT down at a rate of speed : 107KTS ,yeah I know it is bad.

Next time, divert to a airport with better weather if you destination weather is unsuitable. You can use to check weather near your destination. 🙂

The weather should not of caused you to stall surely? I have faced 60mph winds before and bad turbulance without crashing. Things do get bumpy though! Wacko

That's an impressive speed you have racked up there.....353KIAS is fast! Surprised your Airbus (with a default 737 panel) didn't break up due to stress. ATC would not of been happy with your speed, 250KIAS is the max under 10,000ft.

Typical of an over confident pilot trying to make a timetable.

You should have diverted, but sounds like you got hit by a Microbusrt! nasty things they are!

Last week when I flew to JFK the head winds were 100+ MPH and the plane didn't stall (thank god!)
