I fly a lot and have encountered numerous turbulence experiences and I never get anxious. However those people that get extremely frightened I can sympathise with. I would say that during 80% of these times the Captain or co pilot has NEVER given an announcement reassuring passengers. Reassurance is massive. If the guy in control is calm and collected then mentally it means a LOT !

Gosh, that music is unnecessary and distracting
-
The most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport.

After about 300+ flights, I’ve only been on one or two that had any significant turbulence (I’m not talking about the routine lumps and bumps that you have on most flights). And even then, the pilots described the turbulence as moderate.

On an afternoon flight from Pittsburgh to Punta Gorda FL we hit severe turbulence when we dropped into the SW Florida airspace. It lasted at least half an hour. Then the pilot turned to avoid a thunderstorm and diverted us north to Sarasota and through more moderate to severe turbulence until til we landed. Everybody cheered! The pilot was maybe 30. He took us back to PGD after the storm passed and we all gave him hi-fives and fist bumps.

United's Pilot Dave, he's my hero...re-routed the flight to avoid the "very heavy turbulence" that we were initially warned about. I've flown over lakes in twin engines, mega turbulence - no problem at the time. Suddenly it became almost intolerable... UAs Pilot Dave was an Ace - along with UAs cabin crews...

3:19 that was the most terrifying turbulence i have encountered - Wake turbulence - It`s rapid and comes out of nowhere. It felt as if we hit something.
-
What a great piece . Well done . I have suddenly become scared of flying especially turbulence & take off
-
Excellent report
-
I imagine turbulence as I’m in a 4X4 truck going off-roading. I also learned to lean forward and act as a human shock absorber to lesson the impact.
-
It's why I always fly out early mornings in Florida to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms.
-
I live in NZ but work in Europe a lot. Always a lot of turbulence when we cross the equator. Seems right - the shift between seasons etc causing the temp shifts.
-
Thank you to all pilots around the world for flying us safely🎉🎉🎉 Great respect My worse nightmare is if a plane failing mid-ocean😢😢😢....or even worse both pilots get incapacitated while over the ocean. I know it never happened, it's just my anxiery😢😢😢
