YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs there a "secret" reason why you almost never hear a pilot use the words "severe turbulence"? It's a fantastic and insightful question.
In this clip, I tackle the rumor that pilots downplay turbulence to avoid a mountain of paperwork. I'll explain what's true, the importance of integrity, and the technical definition of "severe" that shows just how incredibly RARE it actually is.
