No because a light plane will react to the 15 kt change in airspeed almost immediately. It's unlikely you would notice. Your speed over the ground would change by 30 kts, however.
Yes, an updraft would + load the airplane, for a second. Then the plane would respond to the gust by ballooning above the desired glidepath, not much else.2. On final, I encounter an updraft, I noticed that updrafts are +Gs, so is this scenario at risk for an accelerated stall?
