Turbulence Is Air Movement
- Turbulence is simply the movement of air, which is always happening.
- Pilots appreciate it because it provides lift, even though passengers may find it unsettling.
Why Turbulence Feels Scary
- People fear turbulence due to lack of control and unfamiliar sensations of movement.
- Our primitive brains interpret these movements as dangerous because we've evolved for ground dwelling, not flight.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
- Keep your seat belt fastened throughout the flight to prevent injury during turbulence.
- Even light movements can cause harm if you're unrestrained or if loose objects fall on you.
