Flying a plane in turbulence is much easier than you imagine

The captain of your plane will have checked all the weather maps and forecasts for the route. Areas of turbulence are marked on the map including areas of CAT. It is unusual to make significant route changes to avoid turbulence.

  • It is not any harder to fly a plane in turbulence than in normal conditions.
  • We reduce speed very slightly … a matter of 5 or 10 miles per hour at high altitude.
