What exactly is turbulence, and is it at all an indication of danger during a flight?
In: Physics
Here is a video on turbulence by a 747 pilot
where he explained turbulence like this:
Aircraft are built to handle conditions many times worse than those actually experienced. The only reason to care about turbulence is passenger comfort so they will try to go around or slow down if they see it.
He also flies cargo planes and in that case they just ignore it, plane can take it and pilots are strapped in anyway.
