I fly probably 6-8 times per year and I have to say, in the past 3 years, I have become a much more nervous traveller, particulary when the airplane hits turbulence. (I think it has something to do with some 20/20 or NBC Dateline episode that I saw on turbulence and now I am terrified)......
My question is:
How much turbulence can an airplane handle before the plane that you're on, is "in trouble"?
I have asked this of friends, and I have heard responses, ranging from "A helluva lot" to "Airplanes can fly through hurricanes". I need a bit more than a layman's response.....
I would like
the truth, because when I fly, I always want to ask the flight crew, but I always chicken out of asking them (I am kind of superstitious that way too, as though posing such a question while airborne will be bad luck).
Please and thank you.
