Falling gusts are strong, downward air currents, i.e. strong downdrafts , which are caused by a pronounced unstable stratification of the atmosphere .

If an aircraft flies into such an air flow, colloquially referred to as an air hole , it quickly loses altitude, giving the occupants the feeling of free fall .

In the vicinity of the ground gusts of fall are diverted to the horizontal, where they are then perceived as normal, horizontal gusts .

Strong falling gusts are known as downbursts and usually occur in connection with thunderstorms .
