5 Lessons Every Pilot Must Learn

4. TURBULENCE


This is not a procedure, but as a student pilot, you must learn to manage your risks and the aircraft when flying in turbulent or rough air. Flying in rough air may be scary on the first experience, but once you get used to flying and being in control, you should be able to handle yourself. The important lesson is to know the maneuvering speed of the aircraft you’re flying and remember to power back to that speed whenever you find yourself in rough air.
Maneuvering speed is the max speed which an aircraft can be operated in rough air.
