Severe turbulence encounters are rare as pilots generally know how to avoid them, except when they inadvertently fly into clear air turbulence, which cannot be seen. If shear rate values increase along the route, it’s time to warn the cabin crew of approaching turbulence during the preflight briefing.

Whether you’re a seasoned pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or just curious about the costs associated with flight, this blog is a must-read.
