Turbulence and high-capacity transport aircraft
Over the recent summer months, the ATSB has seen an unprecedented increase
in turbulence events. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau’s monitoring of
the latest aviation events has revealed a significant increase in the number of
weather-related occurrences involving high-capacity air transport aircraft.
Turbulence being the leading cause of in-flight injuries to passengers and
cabin crew, the ATSB has produced a booklet, Staying Safe against In-flight
Turbulence, which is available for free download.
