..... this high GS, they are around mach .86 (because mach= TAS/speed of sound). What would happen if in a few secondes, the wind would just change in the other direction (so 150 knots headwind). The mach would be now extremely high (because TAS is going way up), about mach 1 or so maybe. This could be extremely dangerous, because mach .9 is the maximum? So, could such a situation happen (well, would be extremely rare, with wind changes that fast...)...
