These Are the World's Stormiest Flight Paths—No. 1 Sails Through the Infamous "Mountain Wave" Airzone
Buckle up. Some shakes and bounces during a flight are normal, yet specific paths tend to experience far more turbulence than others. stomach-dropping turbulence A review conducted by Turbuli, a company specializing in turbulence detection, was examined turbulence forecast data From NOAA and the UK MetOffice, to pinpoint the most volatile flight paths globally. At the top spot is the journey from Mendoza, Argentina, to Santiago, Chile, which has an eddy dissipation rate (EDR) measures turbulence intensity—and this particular instance has an EDR value of 24.684. This figure represents a difference of four whole EDR units over the second most turbulent flight path globally, which runs from Córdoba, Argentina, to Santiago, Chile. Most often, turbulence is the result of weather The primary reason for the turbulence experienced during flights from Mendoza’s El Plumerillo International Airport (MDZ) to Chile’s Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL)—a j...
