Hi there. We had an incident two years ago that has created a fear of flying situation with my teenage son and myself. We were taking off from Dulles and the plane seemed to fall suddenly on take off! While it was still ascending. It seemed like the entire plane screamed bloody murder. Which scared me the most. Then it did it again! We hadn't even hit the cloud level and two major drops. More screaming. Unfortunately this was at the start of a trip to Europe. After that every bump sent my son into a panic. Hyperventilating, shaking and acting like he was going to lose control. It was terrible. I was scared as well, but held it together for his sake. Now every time we fly he goes into this panicked state. I have been avoiding flying when I can. We have several upcoming trips and I'm dreading them even though I love to travel. Can you explain what you think happened on take off? Were we in danger? We are going to do the course, but we need help with this. Thank you for any insight.

Hi,
No, I don't think you were in danger at all. Most likely, you hit Clear Air Turbulence (CAT). Those are not dangerous, but they can be uncomfortable. I believe Patrick Smith at askthepilot.com has a post about turbulence. I'm a somewhat nervous flyer who has been using Soar to be calm when flying, and it has helped a lot! Also, I've been learning a lot of technical information about how flying works, which also helps! I hope this post helps you.

CM, what most likely happened is that the plane went through a downdraft (rapidly descending column of air) which suddenly pushed it down relative to its climb path. You probably felt something like the seat suddenly dropping out from under you, right?. While this can be unpleasant and unnerving, it is not dangerous and in fact happens fairly often. Think of waves on the ocean and the boat on those waves. Air is very similar - its moving all the time. We just don't see it as we see water. Hope this helps you. All the best!
