Hello,
I am new to the forum and pretty new to flying. I have flown 3 times in my life and have disliked it every time due to lack of control. SOAR has helped me a lot, but I still feel slightly uncomfortable.
I recently found that I will be flying once or twice a year due to a new job. I will most likely be flying from the east coast to the west coast. I read that there is a lot of moderate-severe turbulence to be encountered in areas like the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada mountains. I will be flying into places like Denver, Salt Lake City, and the Pacific NW and was wondering if turbulence will be a 'norm' on these flights to these areas.
Also, one thing that has me very unsettled about flying is reading about Air France 447 a couple years ago. I am curious to know a professional's opinion on this flight and what happened. It is unsettling to me that the crew did not know anything was wrong until seconds before crashing. Any insights into this?
Thank you in advance.
