Description

Is there a "secret" reason why you almost never hear a pilot use the words "severe turbulence"? It's a fantastic and insightful question. In this clip, I tackle the rumor that pilots downplay turbulence to avoid a mountain of paperwork. I'll explain what's true, the importance of integrity, and the technical definition of "severe" that shows just how incredibly RARE it actually is. Have you ever been on a flight with what you thought was severe turbulence?
