Aviation Weather Hazards

Turbulence is irregular air movement that causes aircraft to rise, dip, or sway. Covers its causes, types, flight effects, and how crews manage it.

Clear air turbulence is invisible turbulence caused by wind shear, often near jet streams. Covers forecasting, pilot mitigation, and passenger safety.

Aircraft icing forms when supercooled droplets freeze on airframes. Covers rime and glaze ice, performance loss, ice protection systems, and avoidance.
