Narrative:
In extremely rough air, while being directed to turn, descend, and reduce airspeed from 250 KTS to 190 KTS, I deviation 300 ft from my assigned descent altitude of 7000 ft MSL. An immediate correction was made and time below 7000 ft was a matter of seconds. No known conflict occurred and no comment made by approach control. I was clearing visually. Cross checking inside on a more frequent basis will prevent a future occurrence.

Title: AN ALT OVERSHOOT OCCURS DURING MANEUVERING, SLOWING AND DSCNT WHILE WATCHING FOR TRAFFIC NEAR WILMINGTON, OH.
Narrative: IN EXTREMELY ROUGH AIR, WHILE BEING DIRECTED TO TURN, DSND, AND REDUCE AIRSPEED FROM 250 KTS TO 190 KTS, I DEV 300 FT FROM MY ASSIGNED DSCNT ALT OF 7000 FT MSL. AN IMMEDIATE CORRECTION WAS MADE AND TIME BELOW 7000 FT WAS A MATTER OF SECONDS. NO KNOWN CONFLICT OCCURRED AND NO COMMENT MADE BY APCH CONTROL. I WAS CLEARING VISUALLY. CROSS CHKING INSIDE ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS WILL PREVENT A FUTURE OCCURRENCE.
