    Turbulence Explained: Why Planes Shake — Is It Safe?

    Turbulence is the part of flying that makes passengers most nervous — those sudden bumps, rattles, and drops. But what’s really happening when the plane shakes? In this episode, we will break down the different types of turbulence, why planes are built to handle it, and why pilots treat it as a routine part of flying. It feels scary, but turbulence is much safer than most people realize.

    How Weather Can Make or Break a Flight

    The weather is one of the biggest factors in aviation. From headwinds that slow you down to tailwinds that help you fly faster, storms that cause turbulence, and even hot days that make it harder to take off, the sky is always influencing how planes perform. In this episode, we break down how wind, temperature, storms, and icing affect flight, and why pilots train constantly to handle whatever the atmosphere throws their way.
