Just flip on the Seat Belt sign lighting when anticipating rough air...
The expectations will have proven in vain... (see--smooth!)
Leave the Seat Belt light off during the clear blue-sky ride to the left coast??
(CAT--Clear Air Turbulence) will track you down and thrash your airplane all over the sky....
Go figure....
Everyone get well....
Please feel better!
I can pretty reliably predict when turbulence will occur. It starts within about 3 seconds after delivery of hot coffee to my tray table.
