Hey guys I got a couple questions about turbulence, some may be trivial but I thought I’d ask anyway.
-
when you are climbing or descending into an airport and you have auto pilot engaged what do you do when you run into some turbulence? As in do you take control of the aircraft or let autopilot do that?
-
I was on a flight from salt lake to Denver the other day and noticed a thunderhead that we maneuvered around, would the pilot have done that or put this in the auto pilot system?
-
this may seem dumb but what does turbulence feel like in the cockpit? I could certainly feel the wind shear pushing the plane around from the cabin I wondered if the cockpit felt the same.
-
what is the one thing you have to do as a pilot when you encounter turbulence
And lastly what is the worst turbulence you have felt?
Sorry that was a lot of questions but I really appreaciate your time!
