Flying Through Turbulence: A Comprehensive Guide

- If you have ever been on an airplane, there is a fair chance you would have experienced turbulence. For nervous flyers, turbulence can be frightening, especially when it's severe. Some might even think that these strong forces would be enough to break the aircraft.
In reality, airplanes, especially large airliners, are built with enough strength to withstand almost all naturally occurring turbulence.

Coming back from JFK to LHR, we got near Ireland and hit some moderate/strong turbulence. Overheads popping open, people getting bounced out of seats and all the cabin crew shot back to their jump seats.
As a former Cabin Attendant and now Pilot i have to say: i absolutely love turbulence and in my 5 years so far, i never had turbulence which I thought was too much, or something I couldn't handle. Love it!
This is a superbly produced video, I love it when it goes into technical details with terms and equations I don't fully understand. Our familiar but nameless voiceover guy with the English radio DJ-type voice but using US/Canada vocab ('airplane') is always personable and easy on the ears. Also the choice of music ranging from heavy rock to French-style accordion music to accompany the technical sections is quite amusing. I loved the telephoto shots of planes with vortices. That's something you don't normally see with the naked eye only with a high resolution camera and telephoto lens. All very informative and long enough to go into a fair bit of detail. I've experienced plenty of turbulence, I just keep the seat belt tight and enjoy it!
I always look forward to these videos
I recall a 2009 Air Canada flight from SYD to YVR where we hit turbulence so strong and long that food service was delayed until four hours into the flight. I vividly recall an elder passenger at one point getting up to go to the washroom. One of the cabin crew rushed to her and had her seated in a nearby empty seat, quickly explaining to her why she must remain buckled up before she herself returned to her jump seat.
Totally off topic but I really enjoy the new set of background music you're using.
On my first trip to Brazil, which was with TAP from Lisbon to Belo Horizonte, we encountered severe turbulence as we were approaching BH, as there was a bad storm. It was so severe that the pilots aborted the landing and the plane was diverted to Rio Galeao airport. There also was bad weather there so the plane just kept shaking and dropping until we've actually landed. Nobody was injured but one passenger did faint.
My very first time flying had turbulence. It was significant enough for the captain to announce to expect it and put on the fasten seatbelt sign. A colleague I was flying with said it was the worst turbulence he experienced and looked a bit shook by it. I wasn't phased by it because it felt similar to being in a trailer being pulled by a tractor over a bumpy farm road or rough field. Something I had experienced growing up. The most recent time I flew there was so little turbulence that the landing was the roughest part of the flight and it was far from being the worst landing I had experienced.
I experienced strong turbulance on an Emirates flight to Paris on A380. As we were flying over southern Turkey, the plane violently shook and I was sitting in the very back of the plane. It went on for about 10 minutes before it stopped. I felt every bit of it
Two incidents of turbulence stand out to me. Once was a clear-weather flight from Denver to ABQ. I was fortunate to have a bag with a rather recently chewed piece of gum. The scent helped settle my stomach. The other was when a series of storms was over northeast US and eastern Canada. Dinner service on that flight to Europe was interrupted twice.
You’re videos are always so amazing! ❤
In December 2021, I was flying LHR-VIE on an A320 and we hit turbulence in the Germany/Austria border area and the lady in front of me was holding onto the seat in front of her for dear life, I was just enjoying the ride!
Interesting🤔🙂👍. I never experience moderate to severe turbulance in my life but maybe in the future.
While on a flight from Vancouver to Calgary in a 732,we hit Cat at 330. Anything loose was flying. Several people were tossed from their seats. This carried on for approx 15 minutes. My Dad flew the same type and was on the flight at the time. Upon landing, he went up front to speak with the flight crew . They informed him the aircraft had sustained such a violent shaking that they were taking it offline for inspection. Nothing even close to that since.
I was on a DC-10 flying from LA to Lewiston ID. We were flying into the path of two fronts colliding with no way of avoiding the collision. We were told in no uncertain terms that we were not to leave our seats period. That had to have been the worst turbulence I've ever been through.
On a flight from Chicago to Las Vegas years ago, we had moderate turbulence that lasted more than an hour. During the turbulence, there was no single inflight PA from the crew. People started to panic and ask around what was happening. After landing, the captain explained that we had just had the worst weather ever. Scarred by this experience.

Va is not a common speed used in Part 25 planes operation, unlike Part 23 planes. Nearly all commercially flown types are Part 25. Unlike in Part 23 planes there is not the usual color coding on the speed indication (white, green, yellow, red), but other markings may exist, like the different kind of limit speeds for airbus (Vls, Valphaprot, Valphamax), buffet margins etc. Part 25 airplanes can withstand their max load limits in their full operating envelope with flaps up, and a slightly reduced load limit envelope with flaps down (2g to 0g flaps down, 2,5g to -1g flaps up).
Had a flight with emirates from Dubai to Nairobi it was very turbulent right after takeoff but just try litsen to dom classical music and after that i small whisky! 🎉
