This is an incident that every pilot wants to avoid while flying a plane. Apart from this, it is a very bad experience for every passenger sitting inside. Turbulence is actually a sudden change in pressure and speed in the air flow, which causes the aircraft to jolt. Suddenly the aircraft starts shaking up and down while moving, which is also called Aircraft Shaking. Due to turbulence, minor tremors to strong and prolonged tremors can be felt. The consequences of which can be very frightening.
