Questions from Our Listeners: Turbulence, Takeoff, and more!

From The Flight Deck presented by Dial A Pilot

In this episode, we tackle these questions from listener Dawn:

1). Sometimes during turbulence, the plane drops rather than bumps. Why is that happening? What is the most drop you have felt and when should I worry?

2). Take us through a take off and landing and what we are feeling in our seats and why.

3). Why when flights are partway to 10,000 feet, the plane feels like it levels off and then starts to climb again? Is that new? It seems like that just started to happen in the last couple of years.

4). Top 3 things that actually make you worry or have stress when flying. Please don’t say spilling your coffee :-).

5). I am sure this is not possible but I think it would help nervous flyers such as myself to be able to hear inside the cockpit.
