 | Pilots need to have more than a minimal understanding of the causes & characteristics of turbulence. While the number and types of accidents caused by turbulence have escalated, actual training on turbulence remains negligible.Turbulence is to help pilots recognize the conditions favorable for aviation turbulence so that its effects can be avoided or minimized. It provides answers to questions such as: - What is turbulence?
- What does it "look" like?
- How long does it last?
- What causes it?
- Where is it?
- What are its indicators?
- What are typical dims & intensities?
