#Thanksgiving is coming, people are flying home, and those bonded to #California seem to be in for a bumpy flight! Clear skies in the rest. 👇 Forecasts for Nov 28th, 16:00 ET, 36000 ft

🟠 Strong turbulence is expected to develop over the North Atlantic over the next 24 hours. Altitudes of 36,000 ft are expected to contain the strongest turbulence. #turbulence #avgeeks #Flights

Bumpy conditions over the North Atlantic continue. Buckle up! 💺✈️ #turbulence #Flights #avgeek

🚨 Heads up! Strong winds are forecast to begin impacting the north-central U.S. and Great Lakes on Wednesday before shifting to the central Appalachians and Northeast on Thursday. Lake effect snow and snow squalls will also be a concern following the strong cold front.🌬️

🟠 Strong turbulence from the Atlantic expected to hit Spain and Portugal over the coming 24 h. These types of turbulence events are common during the winter season as jet stream activity becomes stronger. Map below at 12,000 m (39,000 ft). #turbulence #flight #avgeek

And if the first wave of turbulence was not enough, here comes the second one 💨✈️. Map conditions at 12,000 m (39,000 ft). #turbulence #Flights #avgeek

The 2024 rankings of the most turbulent routes are out! Winners by region: 🥇 South America: Mendoza (MDZ) - Santiago (SCL) 🥇 North America: Albuquerque (ABQ) - Denver (DEN) 🥇 Europe: Nice (NCE) - Geneva (GVA) 🥇 Asia: Kathmandu (KTM) - Lhasa (LXA) 👉 turbli.com/historical-dat…

Turbulence over #Greenland is expected to intensify over the coming 24 hours. A few months ago SAS fligt SK957 diverted back to Europe after encountering severe turbulence here. Keep south from Greenland! #avgeek #aviationsafetyfirst

Not easy to find a way around turbulence today over New York area! Map shows conditions at 36,000 ft altitude. #avgeek #turbulence

It's not going to be easy to go around turbulence today over the East Coast. The animation shows a 24h loop of turbulence at 39,000 ft. The conditions below show similar turbulence levels. #turbulence #avgeek #Aviation

Our new book, "Overcome Your Fear of Flying", is just out! Available for purchase on Amazon in 📚 paperback or 📱eBook formats. #bookday2025 #aviation amazon.com/dp/9153144600

To a fearful flier, hearing that a system has triple backups isn’t reassuring — it’s proof that systems can fail. Overcoming fear of flying isn’t about a single fact. It’s about consistent, repeated training. More in our book📚 #fearofflying #aviation amazon.com/dp/9153144600

Severe turbulence is rare, but planes are built to handle it — with a 50% safety margin over expected stress loads. This is required by law. In the US: 14 CFR Part 25.303 regulates it. More on this in our book 📚 #fearofflying #aviation amazon.com/dp/9153144600

You can know everything about aviation safety and still feel anxious on a plane. Why? Because knowledge alone doesn’t reduce fear — exposure and knowledge do. And for exposure to work, you need to master relaxation techniques. More on this in our book 📚 amazon.com/dp/9153144600

Is Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) dangerous? No! CAT is just an umbrella term for any kind of turbulence that "cannot be seen with the naked eye". Even if we cannot see it, most CAT can be predicted well by turbulence forecasts. More of this in our book 📚 amazon.com/dp/9153144600

An example of the high safety standards in aviation: planes need to carry enough fuel (1) to divert to the most distant alternate airport and then (2) to continue flying for 45 more minutes. Regulated under 14 CFR Part 121.639 amazon.com/dp/9153144600 #fearofflying #avgeek

China is the world’s manufacturing hub, but can it produce jet engines to rival those made in the West? #aviation #Engineering turbli.com/blog/why-is-it…

⭐️ New features! Our interactice turbulence map now includes SIGMET advisories with worldwide coverage. SIGMETs are typically issued for turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, and other aviation hazards. 👉 turbli.com/maps/interacti… #AviationSafety #FLIGHT #Weather
