By far the strongest component of wake turbulence is the swirling air generated at the tips of the aircrafts wings. Key Takeaways Wingtip vortices, not engine exhaust, create the strongest wake turbulence. Wake turbulence can cause severe roll and structural damage to smaller aircraft.

Even if it’s sunny at departure and arrival airports, turbulence or storms along the route may necessitate adjustments. At the same time, they coordinate with cabin crew, dispatchers and engineers to confirm all systems are in order. Passengers might not realize how much pilots interact with the cabin crew.

It was nice to hear the Captain making announcement before departure and he warned us of some expected turbulence during our descent towards HND. The cabin lights were turned off during take off and we were on our way, 25 minutes behind schedule. Time to experience the Class J product on the domestic configured A350-900!

I had flown Aer Lingus’ Airbus A321LR business class back in 2019, and it has a very similar hard product to what you’ll find on the updated version of the jet (it’s essentially the same seats, but with updated tech). At 7:45PM, the main cabin door closed, at which point Ross, the senior cabin crew, added his welcome onboard.

Once on board, we settled down quickly and the announcement was made about my flight including expected turbulence during the take-off and a reminder not to film the crew and passengers without permission. After taking off, we experienced some turbulence during our climb and the ride was better once we were out of Taiwan.
