.3 g wake...

3/10ths of a unit of gravity a "g".

Wake is wake turbulance

It means he encountered 3/10th of a g during a wake turbulance event. This is nothing, a aeronatuical bump in the road if you will...

The NTSB is either stupid, lying or working for Airbus.

I don't know much about flying (nothing really,) but I do recall during our 7.1 earthquake, the epicenter of which was a half mile from my house, the house was airborne. The USGS told me that the force under the house was 1.0g.

Don't know how that relates to this, but it does seem like .3 or .8 isn't that much.
