If you're a nervous flyer like me, take early morning flight. Air is smoothest in the morning. Thunderstorms usually happen in the afternoon. And a second tip and I have no idea why it works but it does, if you're experiencing bad turbulence lift your feet off the floor. For some reason you only feel about half the turbulence when you do that. It works for some strange reason.
@@joemama-kq3sn Depends on how long the flight and where you are going. If you leave the west coast at 9am and flying to somewhere in the south or midwest you might be landing around afternoon when thunderstorms are flaring up. Keep in mind you can experience turbulence at any time of day, I've flown many times and just tend to find less of it on overnight flights and morning flights. The sun heating up the ground during the day causes air to rise and towering clouds to form and these cause bad turbulence if the plane has to go through them.
Knock yourself out with a sleeping pill. The upside is if you sleep the whole voyage you are not bothered with crying babies and their innefective parents.
It took me a long time to get on a plane because of my fear of flying. I missed out on opportunities to fly on several iconic airplanes. Two years ago was my first time flying and I loved it👍! The turbulence didn't bother me and I'm always looking forward to my next flight. ✈
Fear of flying because of claustrophobia or as an extrapolation of fear of heights is legit. But fear of flying because of crashes or because one can't get around their heads how something made of metal can fly is just stupidity and i have no pacience for that.
I was on a flight once and had one bad bump. I told the lady next to me that we hit a possum. She looked at me and for a second thought we really did. Then she laughed.
The first time I flew as an adult was RIC to ATL. I had a window seat. The woman in the middle seat and I struck up a conversation. I was terrified and she told me all about the sounds, what to expect as they were about to happen, and basically held my mental freak out at bay. She also lived about an hour from me in a place that I had a lot of friends growing up, so we talked about how different that county is now vs back then. She was my delta angel. I can’t remember her name but I will always remember her kindness.
All of this is totally true! It takes some flying experience to notice all of these patterns, but once you do, I agree that you start to expect the turbulence during these times. So glad you made a video about this to put it in words! One thing I'll add is that I personally feel like turbulence is worse in winter months in the USA than any other season.
Great video Mark! As someone with a massive fear of flying who is travelling from Europe to the US soon, this came at a perfect time. I just about get through each flight because I love the final destination, but it sure is hard at times!
For the most part (and not coming from an aviators' perspective) you explained things very well. A few things too relay to your audience. The sun heats the earth and that is how weather, wind, clouds are formed. Air flows like water. So over mountains that air is disturbed and goes in all kinds of directions, causing updraft and downdrafts, much like water travels around rocks in a river. The land and water absorb the suns heat at different rates. This is why you feel the "bump" over the coastline. The turbulence around the airport is most likely Wake Turbulence from other aircraft. Airplane disturb the air they fly in, much like a boat on the water. This kind of turbulence can be harmful to some aircraft. Smaller aircraft are warned by Air Traffic Control when a larger aircraft has flown in their path. Turbulence is nothing to fear. It is just an unwanted circumstance of flying.
One of the best things you can do is choose the seat over the wing in the middle of the plane. That's the area of the plane that shakes the least. Think of it like a sea-saw. Each end is going up and down the most. The middle is staying relatively calm.
Took 2 flights last week and freaked out the entire duration of them. Ok, no, the last 20 minutes or so are usually when I calm down like 90%, when we start to descend, because I'm just so happy the torment is about to end. But the rest is so nerve wrecking.
I've noticed it always gets bumpy over the Canadian Maritime provinces! The greatest danger in clear air turbulence (CAT) is not staying in your seat and falling! Remember, there's always the plane ahead of yours, sending back alerts, as well as the plane ahead of that!
Expect bumps when landing in Denver. The worst turbulence I ever had was flying from Denver to Las Vegas one time right through the huge snowstorm. It was like a roller coaster for 90 minutes. Crossword puzzles and alcohol help you forget it’s happening.
Thanks so much for making this video! I don't let my fear of flying get in the way of traveling but the turbulence really does scare the hell out of me. I know that flying is much safer than driving but that common sense means nothing when I'm in a tube going 500mph 30,000 ft off the ground 😂
1:15 Yep. I was on a Southwest Airlines flight from Sacramento to Phoenix last Saturday. A majority of the flight path was over the Sierra Nevada. We had so much turbulence through most of the flight.
I appreciate the video! When I first started flying, I was always a little scared but mostly unworried. But after a realllllyyy turbulent flight to the Philippines, I have started getting panic attacks on flights (and the night before one!) and just extremely anxious and miserable for the whole flight. Drugs help a bit but I hope I can get in a better mindset eventually so it doesn't hold me back. So stuff like this is really helpful, ty!
I constantly have dreams about plane crashing (strange I know) and I get very anxious about flying but it doesn't stop me from travelling to Europe!! worth it
I used to take afternoon flights so I dont have to get up early and rush around. A pilot told me thats the worst time for turbulence due to thermals from the heated land. So, Fly early or late if you are afraid of turbulence, like me.
I live near San Francisco so, between the ocean, the wind, and the Sierra Nevada mountains, flying in and out is always a turbulence hot spot. I sat next to an aeronautics engineer out of Lockheed once and he said that, when he flies, he closes his eyes and imagines the worst road he's ever driven on. If the turbulence is easier than that, then he's fine. From then on, basic turbulence stopped bothering me.
I was always afraid of flying but it's never stopped me from going anywhere. I did take an introductory flying lesson so I could understand how it works and have some questions answered and that really helped me. It was worth the 150$ to calm my nerves a bit haha - great info as always!!
Great video! I'm actually currently taking flight lessons, and there are a couple additional things you can look out for to expect turbulence. One is that if it's really warm out, there will almost certainly be more turbulence since the air is less dense. Another way to check for turbulence is to search for a turbulence forecast map and take a look at that. There, you can see places where the NOAA and other agencies have issued turbulence warnings and at what altitudes you should expect it. A lot of times they will correspond with storms like you mentioned, but sometimes there are other reasons that it occurs. See you in class tomorrow, professor!
I had a fear of flying at one time. However, I had the opportunity to fly to a family reunion in Atlanta. Anyway, going on the plane, I was very nervous. However, when it took off, I thought to myself "This is Awesome!". However, it took my mother's death to get me back on the plane, and I have been flying ever since. I am hoping to go to a convention this year, however, I am looking forward to traveling next year.
Turbulence rarely bothers me unless I have a drink in hand during a bump or sudden drop. 🥃😉 My most memorable turbulence was on a commuter flight when an alarm went off. There was a slight issue with a door lock so the pilot had to fly at a really low altitude. The natural turbulence caused by topography and heat was constant for over 30 minutes. It actually gave me a bit of a headache. 😆
Keep in mind has approx. 22.2 million commercial flights a year. When was the last time a commercial aircraft fell out of the sky because of turbulence? All turbulence does it just reminds you that you’re flying and not sitting at home watching TV.
Not always. I had three flights this past week. Funny enough the one city mark warns about was my smoothest flight. Absolutely no turbulence from Phoenix to Denver and very little from Denver to Portland. Portland to Phoenix was bumpy for almost half the flight 🤷🏻♂️
It should be obvious but the size of the plane definitely makes a difference. We flew Chicago to London on BA on a 777, and they had the seatbelt sign off before we passed Kenosha, WI I think, and it wasn't back on until we were landing (I also felt on all four legs of that trip Chicago>London>Venice and Naples>London>Chicago that BA is a little more liberal about the seatbelt sign - leaving it off in some bumps). By contrast, flying a 48-seat CRJ-200 from Chicago to Minneapolis can be like driving through construction zones.
I took off once in the middle of a tropical storm leaving Tennessee to FLL and I was shocked that there was 0 turbulence, it didnt make sense, super weird as I was expecting severe turbulence but flight was so smooth I didnt believe it
Wouldn't call it turbulence necessarily, but something that scares a lot of passengers is when the plane wheels hit hard during a landing, and I hear things like "this pilot is reckless". If the runway is small or has moisture on it, the pilot will hit the ground hard to slow the plane down. You can expect this just about every time you fly into Chicago Midway.
Whenever I experience a rough landing I just shrug and tell myself the pilot is probably just inexperienced. Next time they'll be better (or they might be outa a job).
Great video, I think this would help fearful flyers a lot. I learned about all these situations over the many years traveling around the world and throughout the USA. One thing to add, in my experience, once you’re over the Atlantic or Pacific oceans there is near zero turbulence. I once slept from Boston to Madrid, only waking up when we reached the coastline and was able to see the Iberian coastline as we passed over.
Depends how bad it is tho. Sometimes you might be being flung around and then, maybe not. I've been woken up from that b4 but after brief disorientation it's all good (if it isn't you are going to KNOW about it)
There is a free fearful flyer class that Phoenix Airport does with Capt Ron (In person or online). But one course will not help. You can take some of his other courses online for a fee. Check around because your local airport may have a fearful flyer class.
I conquered my fear of flying recently flying from South Korea to USA. I would take xanex & just pass out but now I can go on an airplane without taking it 🙌🏼 I do have trouble sleeping on an airplane though lol
If I get a little nervous on a plane, like, if there's a noise or movement I'm not accustomed to, I just look at the faces of the cabin crew. If they look okay, I calm down immediately.
I’m a nervous flyer. I would love to go to Asia. I pray these political issues subside. Why can humans just coexist and respect one another? Why is that so difficult?
The title of this video should have been kind of turbulence to expect when flying I was looking for how to overcome the fear of flying was not mentioned anyway its fine nice video though not what I expected
I always check turbulence forecast before I fly. It confronts me to be able to prepared. Also, if you have the option fly in the morning to reduce the chance of turbulence. I hate turbulence - but I don’t let it stop me from traveling.
I do that too, and look at the storm radar to see where all the spots of red and yellow are on the map and wondering what route the pilot will take to go around it. I don't know why I do that since I'm just freaking myself out even more, but I guess it's just paranoia.A few months ago I was going from Nashville to LAX, early morning flight which I choose intentionally to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. And just my luck, at 5am I'm woken up to the sound of booming from thunder. A rare dawn thunderstorm was moving in. I freaked out on my way to the airport, but it was all for nothing. The pilot choose a route that took us around the worse of it. Just some mild chops on the climb out and all my worrying was for nothing.
I recently did an asia trip to japan, sinapore and thailand. Not sure because its the start of hurricane season but almost every flight within asia the turbulence was bumpy most of the time. Felt like driving on long stretches of bumpy hilly roads lol But nothing serious 😊
People with fear of flying actually kind of annoy me because their reasons are always nonsensical, some even insane. I can understand fear of heights, that makes sense. But fear of flying is nonsense.
I've always loved to fly, now I am too afraid. I believe I would fly if you were sitting next to me to calm me down! Great video, thanks for the information
I went to Romania in 97 (only 6 years old at the time and we flew with TAROM 😂😂 it was a absolute terrible experience 😢 (keep in mind it was under ten years after fall of communism, totally different Romania back then.) but now i atleast know why i have fear of flying 😅 and i can do something about that 😊
Also, my flight back from Costa Rica (to LAX) we had turbulence almost the entire time. I figured because we were flying against the wind along the coast. It was mild but ANNOYING.
I tend to get nervous when I haven’t flown in a while (longer than a year in between flights). That just tells me it’s just the feeling of being unfamiliar with the sensation of flying rather than than the flying itself. Also, for me the nervousness comes more from all of the waiting and processes leading up to flying. Once we’re in the air I start to chill out because I guess at that point there’s not much else you can do!
Hi Mark, very informative and fun video, did you organize those aircraft to do a fly by ? by the way #3 is called "wake turbulence, cheers from Kiwi Malcolm.
No, over wing is center of gravity of plane so it could be less noticeable there.Think of teeter totter for analogy. Same as cruise ship, center of boat, lowest deck has less motion.
Excellent and informative video, as always. Thank you. Passengers should also keep in mind that planes are engineered to handle severe levels of turbulence that are almost never encountered during most flights. They’re not going to break apart in midair although one might get that impression when the aircraft suddenly transforms into a 35,000 foot version of Kingda Ka. 😁 Comedian Louis CK reminds us that flight is a miracle. You’re literally sitting in a chair, IN THE SKY! 😎
The only flight I've ever had into Denver it was nighttime and smooth as silk. Guess I lucked out. I've also flown over the Rockies at night many times and it was smooth. I think it's the daytime warming that gets winds stirred up and the air moving around. At night things settle down.
You gonna love the Welllington,NZ landing should you finally make it over there ;) Also Gisborne. We're betting when the screaming starts every time :D
But how funny it would have been for this dude to lead the plane into its landing just to have fireball rise up into the sky. Mission failed. We will get him next time
Just got back from a trip a week ago. When we got close to home, there were winds about 40-45mph. Oh, the turbulence was terrible…but it won’t stop me from traveling.
I love to fly and I really enjoy turbulences ;-)! To really "feel" that you are actually flying - priceless. Airplanes are build to withstand them and I have a lot of confidence and trust in aviation - at least in the planes/airlines I am flying with ;-)! The only bad things during turbulences are the passengers who disobey the "fasten seatbelt" -sign and the drama queens with their hysterical screaming at even the slightest bump.....!
awesome video! i love travelling, i love airports, i love plane’s, i love flying, but all that turbulence thing makes me uncomfortable, even though i know planes can take some really brutal ones, but still it makes me uncomfortable
Those words wind shear hit hard for those of us who were in Dallas in the mid-80s. I don't think I've ever heard the words wind shear before flight 191 crashed
The only time I ever felt concerned on a flight was from BCN to MIA on a 767. I had never been on a 767 before and the high-pitched engine sound on acceleration made my gut sink. However, I looked around at the other passengers and crew and saw that they all seemed to be unconcerned about it and I instantly felt better. The moral of the story is if nobody else is freaking out, you're fine.

Probably the vibrations thru the floor.

How early? My flight is like at 9/10 I think

Totally feel the same way! Something I work on. Flying is the Only way to get around. Trains don’t go many places and buses also take long.
Me to lol

Mentor Pilot has a great video on this topic and explains pretty well why most turbulence is harmless.
If you have a big bean burrito before your flight, you may have to expect some turbulence.
Not if it is cooked right, and the beans get rinsed.
You always soak and wash beans before cooking.
One of the best things you can do is choose the seat over the wing in the middle of the plane. That's the area of the plane that shakes the least. Think of it like a sea-saw. Each end is going up and down the most. The middle is staying relatively calm.

I've noticed it always gets bumpy over the Canadian Maritime provinces!
The greatest danger in clear air turbulence (CAT) is not staying in your seat and falling!
Remember, there's always the plane ahead of yours, sending back alerts, as well as the plane ahead of that!
I’m not a keen flyer but I always do it, the world is too beautiful and amazing to ignore.
Expect bumps when landing in Denver. The worst turbulence I ever had was flying from Denver to Las Vegas one time right through the huge snowstorm. It was like a roller coaster for 90 minutes. Crossword puzzles and alcohol help you forget it’s happening.

How was your flight
The title of this video should have been kind of turbulence to expect when flying I was looking for how to overcome the fear of flying was not mentioned anyway its fine nice video though not what I expected
Also wake turbulence when you are on approach to land.
I have a flight to DC in December and i will take an edible to see how flying while high feels like
The fact that turbulence causes motion sickness is the reason why I fear it so much
AHHHHH! I feel like you made this video just for me. You know how much I *LOVE* turbulence and flying, haha!

Maybe if the pilot 👨✈️ tell ppl everything is okay they will feel okay
My worst turbulence experience was going to Chile, coming from Brazil, flying over the Andes mountains… It was so scary! Love your videos!
Sometimes the pilot 👨✈️ even til the plane ✈️ side ways during turbulence
I enjoy all your videos but this one was especially good for the soul of a hesitant flyer.
People with fear of flying actually kind of annoy me because their reasons are always nonsensical, some even insane. I can understand fear of heights, that makes sense. But fear of flying is nonsense.
I've always loved to fly, now I am too afraid. I believe I would fly if you were sitting next to me to calm me down!
Great video, thanks for the information
when a bigger airplane flies "nearby" there'll be some bumps too, like what happens in water when a bigger boat passes by..
I went to Romania in 97 (only 6 years old at the time and we flew with TAROM 😂😂 it was a absolute terrible experience 😢 (keep in mind it was under ten years after fall of communism, totally different Romania back then.) but now i atleast know why i have fear of flying 😅 and i can do something about that 😊
Also, my flight back from Costa Rica (to LAX) we had turbulence almost the entire time. I figured because we were flying against the wind along the coast. It was mild but ANNOYING.
I tend to get nervous when I haven’t flown in a while (longer than a year in between flights). That just tells me it’s just the feeling of being unfamiliar with the sensation of flying rather than than the flying itself. Also, for me the nervousness comes more from all of the waiting and processes leading up to flying. Once we’re in the air I start to chill out because I guess at that point there’s not much else you can do!
Im scared of take off, and malfunctiom
What about turbulence in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
Storms usually
I actually like turbulence, kinda makes me feel like I'm on a bus. The smoothness of modern air travel actually unerves me a bit.
I kinda look at it like it's a free theme park ride that I didn't have to pay for 😃
300 years from now someone will say the same about teleportation.
Agreed! Can’t wait for them to excavate these comments and see how you predicted it 😉
Lucky you
I’m not scared of flying lol. I’m that guy that begs to sit by the window seat so I can watch the ground the entire time.
I may or not be a psychopath
So do I :-)!
Turbulence happens when you are served coffee 😬
Hi Mark, very informative and fun video, did you organize those aircraft to do a fly by ? by the way #3 is called "wake turbulence, cheers from Kiwi Malcolm.
is it true that passengers in the front of the plane experience less turbulence? pricey seats a little smoother?
No, over wing is center of gravity of plane so it could be less noticeable there.Think of teeter totter for analogy. Same as cruise ship, center of boat, lowest deck has less motion.
The seesaw analogy is spot on.
You feel the “roll” on takeoff a lot more from the rear seats. Along the front of the wings are the most comfortable seats.
Excellent and informative video, as always. Thank you.
Passengers should also keep in mind that planes are engineered to handle severe levels of turbulence that are almost never encountered during most flights. They’re not going to break apart in midair although one might get that impression when the aircraft suddenly transforms into a 35,000 foot version of Kingda Ka. 😁
Comedian Louis CK reminds us that flight is a miracle. You’re literally sitting in a chair, IN THE SKY! 😎
Omg flying in and taking off from Denver....worst turbulence ever!! I'm so glad my friend who I was flying to visit warned me...
The only flight I've ever had into Denver it was nighttime and smooth as silk. Guess I lucked out. I've also flown over the Rockies at night many times and it was smooth. I think it's the daytime warming that gets winds stirred up and the air moving around. At night things settle down.
You gonna love the Welllington,NZ landing should you finally make it over there ;) Also Gisborne. We're betting when the screaming starts every time :D
But how funny it would have been for this dude to lead the plane into its landing just to have fireball rise up into the sky. Mission failed. We will get him next time
Yep, often experience turbulence crossing the rocky mountains. Much more than on transatlantic flights actually!
Just got back from a trip a week ago. When we got close to home, there were winds about 40-45mph. Oh, the turbulence was terrible…but it won’t stop me from traveling.
Excellent Sir!
Excellent presentation
Thxs
Thank you
I love to fly and I really enjoy turbulences ;-)! To really "feel" that you are actually flying - priceless. Airplanes are build to withstand them and I have a lot of confidence and trust in aviation - at least in the planes/airlines I am flying with ;-)! The only bad things during turbulences are the passengers who disobey the "fasten seatbelt" -sign and the drama queens with their hysterical screaming at even the slightest bump.....!
awesome video! i love travelling, i love airports, i love plane’s, i love flying, but all that turbulence thing makes me uncomfortable, even though i know planes can take some really brutal ones, but still it makes me uncomfortable
Those words wind shear hit hard for those of us who were in Dallas in the mid-80s. I don't think I've ever heard the words wind shear before flight 191 crashed
The only time I ever felt concerned on a flight was from BCN to MIA on a 767. I had never been on a 767 before and the high-pitched engine sound on acceleration made my gut sink. However, I looked around at the other passengers and crew and saw that they all seemed to be unconcerned about it and I instantly felt better. The moral of the story is if nobody else is freaking out, you're fine.
It was a great Honor seeing you on Savannah to Atlanta flight on delta !
