Totally agree Lasiorhinus. LMAO
The above guide, whilst it is well written for an airliner, does it really apply to a lighter a/c ?
Ive been flying and encountered what I feel as top end of moderate turbulence in the circuit area in a C182. Later visually seen other light a/c getting bumped around in the circuit, but watching a 737 on downwind it appeared to be smooth as silk ?
Is it the same as comparing a 4.5m aluminium boat to an 80m floating gin palace ?
I can tell you the ride difference between a 4m tinny to an 8m fibreglass boat in 2 foot chop is spine breaking to champagne sipping.
Are these comparisons fair ? Both are basically vehicles travelling in a fluid environment although water is somewhat harder.
