21. How To Describe Turbulence Precisely - ICAO Booster 1 (UA115)

🎙️ ICAO Booster #1 — How To Describe Turbulence Precisely

Turbulence can be routine — or it can become a genuine operational concern. In this first episode of the ICAO Booster series, I break down exactly how to describe turbulence with precision: from grammar (why turbulence is uncountable) to intensity (light, moderate, severe, extreme) to the difference between occasional and intermittent. Using a real NTSB report on United Airlines Flight 115, I'll see how professional aviation language turns an ordinary in-flight event into a precise operational description — right down to a Level 5/6 phrase you can learn by heart.
