Approach Tarmac Turbulence 
Ask Captain Lim
JULY 13, 2025
Even if it’s sunny at departure and arrival airports, turbulence or storms along the route may necessitate adjustments. Passengers might notice the plane moving slowly on the tarmac. If turbulence arises, they may adjust altitude or route – not because it’s dangerous, but for passenger comfort. Weather plays a crucial role.

You are able to view the traffic of the tarmac from the windows of the corridor which lead to the end of the pier. We flew through some clouds but there was no turbulence. On approach to runway 35. There are a few cafes to enjoy a meal before departure. Let's check out the gates. This is BA Cityflyer ERJ-190 E1.

The view of the tarmac. There were slight turbulence during this flight and it is nothing compare to my return flight, more on that in my next trip report (Aegean A320ceo SKG-ATH). There was a bit of light turbulence during our descent. We are on final approach on runway 34 at SKG. Beautiful reflection of the sunlight.

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport. This was my flight's final assigned gate. Goodbye Frankfurt!
