I flew into LBA from Faro yesterday afternoon... most hellish landing I've ever had, and I've had a few. Very windy.
Didn't bother me at all, but emotions were running high throughout the cabin, suffice to say. Tears the lot.
Not getting at you Harrogate.
You know I often read things similar where people say turbulence does'nt bother them at all. I wonder why when the pilots are sometimes scared out of their wits.Is this because they know the dangers.
Turbulence and windshear can be very nasty indeed and unpredictable.This is very stressful for the pilots.
I recall the so-called mountain wave reported over the Pyrenees last year I think.Aircraft were almost virtually falling out of the sky with loss of control.
I have to admit,I have flown more than 1000 times and tubulence bothers me sometimes.Also probably on 5 occasions I experienced sheer terror.
