Very strong turbulence on landing at Zurich

During the landing approach in Zurich we had strong turbulence. The flight crew immediately tried to calm us down.

[@gogamich]

"Very strong" is a very exaggerated description!

[@klauswillyhalvorsen1081]

Do you call that very strong turbulence??? 😂😂😂thats nothing compared to strong turbulence

[@Nock4Six]

This is nothing lol

[@maffoop]

It's weird how I've been on flights with turbulence way worse than that and no one reacts except me. One time the plane dropped so hard I left my stomach in Los Angeles. The guy next to me kept snoring.

[@VerygoofyCole]

That’s facts especially Orange County landing and Phoenix. Usually because dry asf conditions

[@VinayKumar-fj2kg]

Yeah, thats true. Turbulence is really nothing to be worried about. I have been on flights going over 14 hours or more non stop and frequently experienced medium to sever turbulence. I just sit there under the seat belt watching movies on the airplanes console or saved on my mobile. I can't sleep though in that rocking and shaking cabin.

Why should they say anything? It’s not their fault the sun is heating the earth unevenly.

[@rat_king2801]

@@matthewrammig because it can be scary for the passengers. The pilots know roughly how long it will take them to get through a turbulent patch. It make it less of a worry when the pilot tells you everything is ok

Aviate - navigate - communicate. At landing or takeoff you should be focusing on flying the plane

[@drsins9651]

They are busy landing ur ass safely

[@matthewrammig]

@7577 yes, it’s very much appropriate to make an announcement when going through turbulence say in cruise; where I would inform the cabin that I’m turning on the “Fasten seatbelt sign” for safety. But I would never attempt to quell somebody’s fears by reassuring them that we have control of our airplane. ESPECIALLY, on final and I don’t know ANY other pilots that would honestly.

[@PavyCakes]

I wish all captains had that kind of customer service for regular people who don't understand how safe they really are even in the heaviest of turbulence. It would help a lot of ppl with anxiety for sure.

[@CharlottePaige-rg2kq]

Exactly, spot on!!! Hate it when all goes dead quite...

[@simplytine2939]

I know! They should be reassurance , i Guess theyre confident and we have to trust them

[@SM-ce1uy]

I disagree, I want them to be 100% focused on safely landing, not being distracted by anything

[@ChickenburritoYe]

@@SM-ce1uyThat was a purser making the announcement.

[@ThePatriot-gm1fg]

I wouldn't exaggerate too much. If turbulence is extremely heavy especially for prolonged periods of time it can certainly stress the aircraft, cause the autopilot to disconnect etc. Most of the time it doesn't get that severe and of course pilots are highly trained but there is always a small possibility of something going wrong. I'd also make the distinction between "heavy" and "severe" turbulence. The former is usually no problem but the latter is something that needs to be avoided.

The single best advice I've ever been given for turbulence came from Madagascar's King Julien: "Put your hands up, Maurice! It's much more fun this way!" and honestly, this changed my life. Your life is not at risk, might as well pretend it's a free-style rollercoaster

[@zamar2158]

Flight attendants sound the same no matter what language they speak lol.

[@AbacusAxolotyl]

I wish our pilot had said something like this on our Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Edinburgh in January! We had horrendous turbulence and then we had to do an emergency landing in Amsterdam because of a burning smell. The decent was rapid and unlike some flights where people cheer when you land after bad turbulence, everyone on our plane was in complete silence. People were crying and praying on the way down. Staff at the Amsterdam airport told us they couldn’t believe that our flight had ever even taken off due to Storm Isha.

[@lamontjones8004]

I would call that moderate because I've felt worse many times

[@spicykikyo]

Love how the pilot reassured everyone! That would make me feel so much better!

[@PeterNGloor]

the cockpit crew does not have time to talk on the PA during landing.

[@zaram131]

Exactly!

[@alanmlkbanda]

How can anyone feel safe when what's carrying you is shaking that much when precision and control is required to safely land. Add on top of that the fact landing is the most dangerous part of a flight alongside takeoff plus the fact that landing is basically a controlled stall and you'll realize it makes sense for people to be afraid.

[@StellaandPeteyBulldogs]

I’m not a fan of turbulence, but this didn’t seem bad. I’ve been in turbulence where people were screaming and plane was tossed around in a storm coming from Dominican Republic.

Nothing unusual with thunderstorms and some terrain at the time of turbulence. The layer of turbulence was just above the surface but not at ground level for landing. Anything super intense at ground level or having to do with vertical sheer occurring just above ground would typically have been avoided with an abort.

I have had landings like that at several airports in the US. The worst was Denver. I thought I was going to die on several occasions, but they were all at Stapleton. The new airport isn't as close to the mountains and you see less turbulence landing there.

@@Kilcrops0914 Yeah I had this flight in winter where the plane shook and rolled all the way from Denver to San Antonio. I remember looking out the window at Pikes Peak which was about level with the plane and willing myself to not vomit or freak out. I thought we were going to lose a wing. The wings were flapping like a pigeon's wings. I think it was the most terrifying flight I ever took.

Then the captain came on and said "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!! We have just been ordered by DC to lower our altitude". So, right into the storm we went. Thank God for ginger pills. 🤢

[@VinayKumar-fj2kg]

Great video. The turbulence that you experience while landing is usually when the aircraft cuts through the clouds. Its harmless and very mild. Dreadful one is clear air turbulence (CAT) that happens at altitudes above 15000 feet. Thats much worse. Usually seen above the deserts during hot summers. Walking people and loose objects could be flung around. Thats supposed to be caused by air pockets (rather vacuum pockets) created due to heat or otherwise. Fortunately, modern airplanes are much stronger than the might of the nature as far as CAT is concerned. You can enjoy turbulence as an experience if you like 🙂

[@amstergal]

I watched a great video explaining the types of turbulence, causes and so forth, and had never heard of CAT before that. While learning is great, perhaps it's true sometimes that ignorance is bliss! Spoken by someone who adores some aspects of flying,but is absolutely freaked out by turbulence! Given the nature of CAT and that it can occur unexpectedly at any moment is terrifying! Very glad to hear modern planes much stronger!
