A question to pilots from your average frequent flyer
I am your average passenger constantly crisscrossing the world. I have had my fair share of turbulent flights, never really been scared of flying but after the AF disaster, everything has changed.
I have recently flown across the South China Sea and at every bump I found myself holding the armrest.
Can a pilot please reassure me that you guys by rule of thumb always try to avoid storms and how much punishement can an airplane really take.
Also with the radar on board can you really see what's going on when you fly in a turbulent area?
Thank you very much
