Welcome to my trip report on Japan Airlines 2024 edition! This is Japan Airlines A350-900 (JA15XJ) in the oneworld special livery being prepared for departure to Osaka at Okinawa Airport.

These altitudes minimize fuel use, avoid turbulence, and provide smoother rides for passengers. When flying a small plane, staying within the appropriate altitude ensures better control and a more comfortable experience, especially in turbulent weather. Flying at high altitudes is a cornerstone of commercial aviation.

Even though synthetic vision might help me perform an emergency descent to a valley that might not be cloud filled, that’s pretty sketchy as a risk-mitigation strategy. Bouncing [in turbulent air inside an RV-9A] means fatigue, and that means stress that can lead to poor decision-making and decreased skills… Then there are winds aloft.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Add in some crosswind and turbulence from preceding aircraft, and these arrivals can get a bit hairy.
