When flying jets, changing your altitude based on ride reports from other aircraft is a tried-and-true method. International flight crews usually leave the seat belt sign on almost the entire flight, especially at night. I do not need to prove myself or push weather. This is for two reasons.
If shear rate values increase along the route, it’s time to warn the cabincrew of approaching turbulence during the preflight briefing. Turbulence is generally caused by the relative movement of disturbed air through which an aircraft is flying, especially over mountains, near jet streams, uneven heating surfaces, or in thunderstorms.
ATR-72-500 9M-FYG (Route: SZB-XSP) My photo Economy Class For my trip report, click here My thoughts The turboprop aircraft may travel at a slower speed and fly at a lower altitude than the jet aircraft, it is a cheaper aircraft to operate and is more cost efficent on routes that has lesser demand and better suited for shorter runways.
Much like terrestrial weather, CR intensity (expressed in units called millisieverts or mSv) is extremely changeable, exhibiting day-to-day variability of as much as 100%. High-performance business jets, such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500, can reach altitudes above 49,000 feet for fuel efficiency and smoother rides.
In August 2024, a Korean Air A330 ran into turbulence, injuring 10 passengers and four cabincrew. The type was integral in shrinking the planet through the introduction of the jet age in the 1950s but was also loved by passengers and crews alike for its sleek lines, spacious cabin, and impressive range and speed capabilities.
This type of fatigue may result from mental strain or mental stress, over stimulation and understimulation, as well as jet lag, boredom, lack of sleep, diseases and depression.
