welcome back my aviators to my youtube channel as you know most
of the passengers are afraid of tablets so today i decided
to make a video and tell you guys about the turbulence
and how you can overcome your fear of it
first of all you have to know what is turbulence
what causes it and how the pilots deal with it
before and during the flight also at the end of this video we're
gonna talk about the most important question that i always get
from my followers if turbulence can actually make the
airplane fall down so make sure to watch it
till then so let's imagine that you are driving your car
on a smooth road and suddenly you got in a hum or a hole what gonna happen
your car will start shaking so the same with the turbulence
when the airplane flies in smooth air it flies smoothly
until it gets into a disturbed airflow that
makes the airplane to shake now what causes this turbulence
well there are some of them for example number one mountains skyrapers
tall tree forests number two turbulent clouds like thunderstorms or
any updrafts or downdrafts air as the airplanes fly
through them number three jet streams now let's discuss how pilots deal with
the turbulence and how they avoid it before each flight
pilots have a weather briefing which includes
the significant weather and root charts these charts
give information about the moderate extreme
and clear air turbulent areas and since the planning section includes
also the dispatchers who are aware of this information they
try to choose the best flight route which would avoid the turbulent area
although the pilots can confirm and check this route
and if they are not okay with that they may ask the dispatchers
to redirect their flight on a different route
this is all done before the flight now during the flight
pilots should report the atc if they experience any turbulence
so for the atc to have this information and pass this to other aircraft which
are flying in the same frequency and the same
airspace but let's say that suddenly the airplane
gets into the turbulence what the pilots are going to do
they're going to follow the procedures of operators
which are reducing the airspeed changing the airplane direction
climbing or descending depending on the cause
and the area of the turbulence now what about the cabin usually if we
experience turbulence or we know that we are gonna experience it we
inform the cabin crew before entering that area switching the
seat will sign on make a passenger announcement asking to
fasten your seat belts reduce the airplane
speed and secure all the loose items that's
why when the cabin crew or pa ask you to
fasten your seatbelts just do it as a pilot i advise you
always to keep your seat belts fastened during the flight
even if the seatbelt sign is switch off now it's time for the most asked
question to me can turbulence bring down the
airplane honestly yes but very unlikely
if it's severe turbulence then it may cause structural damage to the airplane
and it may bring it down but this kind of turbulence is very rare
and already shown on a significant with a chart
and also the very accurate meteorological system
that we use will detect these extreme turbulence areas
so pilots can avoid these areas also don't forget that the pilots always
do their best to make the flight safer so they
definitely know about these turbulent areas so aviators
i hope this information will help you to overcome the fear
of turbulence and make you less worried about
the bumpy flights and next time if you experience a bumpiness during your
flight you at least would have an image of what
is going on and how your pilots are dealing with it
so you would just fasten your seatbelt and follow
the crew instructions if you like this video
