The pilot gets into a small bit of leftover wake turbulence, the rental aircraft wobbles just before touchdown and a wingtip catches the runway. |
Wind speed has a time-varying pattern by nature, especially inside the stands where turbulence in airflows is high. |
Pilots can avoid wake turbulence by allowing greater distance behind the heavy aircraft and their own, or by delaying takeoff for a few minutes. |
They annotated these weather charts with areas of high seas, poor visibility, low cloud-cover, turbulence, and high winds. |
The fur on tennis balls and the stitching on baseballs also create turbulence, which similarly affects the aerodynamics. |
A massive jolt of turbulence shook the plane, and there were a few audible gasps. |
