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.

Anyway, the Captain updated us on our flight and that includes a warning of turbulence around a particular timing and so far they have been quite accurate.

Sadly, GA accident reports are littered with singles and twins that land just short of the runway with windmilling props and dry tanks. We often end up at higher altitudes to escape the wind shear layer, cumulus buildups, and turbulence below. So, I am careful to watch the speed heading downhill into the turbulence.

Subjective factors such as terrain, turbulence, and gust direction are as important as the numbers. I did a checkride in 30 knot winds in the flatlands of Kansas, almost straight down the runway.
