Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. In seconds, an aircraft can be forced into an uncontrollable descent, leaving you with barely any time to react.

It was nice to hear the Captain making announcement before departure and he warned us of some expected turbulence during our descent towards HND. It all started when she approach and notify me not to take photos of any one, from there, I shared with her what I do, it was very pleasant chatting with her. Posh looking lavatory, isn't it?

The aircraft was on final approach to SKG. The tail livery is certainly very attractive. The Captain made his announcement and informed us about some whether ahead of us especially during take-off and we can expect some during our descent. We finally broke out of the clouds when we started our descent into Athens.
