When I ask a question concerning turbulence and its effects on the safety, I often hear: Turbulence can be of 3 types...It can lead to a loss of control of a plane.And that's all. Let''s consider the definition and what a plane is exposed to in case of encountering turbulence.
Turbulence is a real concern for aviation safety.
Turbulence stands for chaotic and capricious eddies of air or sudden and violent shift in airflow.
What happens to a plane when it encounters turbulence? It is exposed to shaking and tossing, abrupt jolts are felt. Everything depends on the intensity of turbulence itself.
Occupants will feel a definite strain against their seat belts and unsecured objects will be dislodged. These loose objects may drop from the overhead bins or move around the cabin and inflict injuries to passengers.People can get bruises, cuts, scratches, they can suffer from brain concussion or bleeding, sometimes turbulence can even cause limb fractures.
