Have you ever been on a plane and felt that sudden bump (碰撞), causing your stomach to drop That's turbulence, and it's a normal part of air travel. Turbulence can be scary, but understanding what causes it and how to deal with it can help ease your fears.
Turbulence can be caused by three things: mountains, jet streams, and storms. Air forms waves when it meets with mountains. These "mountain waves" can break up into many disorderly currents (气流), which we experience as turbulence. Jet streams, fast moving currents high above the earth, can also cause turbulence. Storms are the most common cause. The fast growth of storm clouds pushes air away, creating waves that can turn into turbulence. Each of these can cause "clear air turbulence" , or CAT, the least noticeable type. It's hard to predict, and it can happen suddenly.
Part of the nervousness around turbulence is the fear of the aircraft failing. It's a natural reaction, especially when you've had the experience of watching a wing bend in a seemingly impossible way. "Everything on wing bending a plane has been tested. In fact, a little wing bending during turbulence is a good thing, as it shows the plane is able to deal with the stress, " explains Marilyn Smith, an engineer at Georgia Tech.
If you are a nervous flyer, there are a few ways to plan for and deal with turbulence during the flight.
"Turbulence is worse at the back of the plane and it's usually the most serious in the mid-afternoon, " says Heather Poole, a flight attendant for 21 years. "So, try to book a morning flight and sit at the front of the plane. " "Keep your seat belt fastened at all times, " Poole adds. She also suggests just talking to your flight crew (机组成员) if you are feeling nervous, as they can check on you and offer support.
"The fear mostly comes from losing a sense of control, " Poole says. "If you learn more about how turbulence happens and what you can do, you will feel better. "
