The anatomy of a commercial flight – all you ever wanted to know:   Part two   

Aerotime

While many believe that down-pull blinds are simply more susceptible to turbulence or heavy landings, making them more likely to simply drop down, there is an even more logical explanation than this. This again is a safety feature, but one which has traditionally been misinterpreted.

How to Land an Airplane

Pilot Institute

Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions. It also allows you to focus on flying during the last stages of the approach and landing. An IFR pilot will run the GUMPS checklist before passing the final approach fix.

Leaving South America On Board Delta Airlines Boeing 767-400ER

Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

As this was the first time sitting quite front in the Boeing 767-400ER, I find it to be quite noisy during take off and there was quite a bit of turbulence during the flight. At this point, we were on final approach to runway 31L. Reverse thrusts were deployed to slow our aircraft down. We landed smoothly on runway 31L.

2700 Miles in a Cherokee Six

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift.

Additionally, only those events where aircraft have been reported as either substantially damaged or written off, or there has been a fatality onboard a public transport flight due to inflight turbulence, have been included. The copilot selected the thrust reversers. The aircraft then bounced to a height of about three feet (2m).
