What is the definition of moderate turbulence according to FAA?
What is the definition of moderate turbulence according to FAA?
- Changes in altitude and/or attitude, with slight strain against seatbelts and slight object displacement. (correct)
- Rapid bumps or jolts without altitude or attitude changes.
- Practically impossible to control and may cause structural damage
- Slight, rapid and rhythmic bumpiness without altitude or attitude changes.

Study Notes
- FAA defines turbulence as air movement caused by atmospheric pressure, jet streams, weather fronts or mountains.
- FAA defines turbulence intensity as light chop, light turbulence, moderate chop, moderate turbulence, severe and extreme.
- Light chop is slight, rapid and rhythmic bumpiness without altitude or attitude changes.
- Light turbulence is erratic changes in altitude and/or attitude, with slight strain against seatbelts and slight object displacement.
- Moderate chop is rapid bumps or jolts without altitude or attitude changes.
- Moderate turbulence causes changes in altitude and/or attitude, variations in airspeed, and difficulty in food service and walking.
- Severe turbulence causes large, abrupt changes in altitude and/or attitude, variations in airspeed, and violent force against seatbelts and objects.
- Extreme turbulence is practically impossible to control and may cause structural damage.
- Turbulence can be caused by weather fronts, jet streams, atmospheric pressure, or mountains.
- Turbulence can cause difficulty in food service and walking, variations in airspeed, and violent force against seatbelts and objects.
