Fear of flying. Information.

Turbulence made by aircraft   Recently on the forum someone asked “what was the cause of a sudden very short lived bit of turbulence?” Here’s the answer…this picture shows what happens to the air behind a plane…not unlike a wave behind a ship at sea. You can see that the air swirls around immediately behind the wing. If you happen to fly thru’ this you’ll feel a jolt. And just in case you’re worried…Air Traffic Control keep aircraft apart …by miles to minimise the effect. Another great bit of information from flyingwithoutfear.com
