  1. Because my family always had a small aircraft, I flew a lot as a child. When we hit turbulence, I couldn't read, so usually took a nap. This happened enough, that whenever I experience turbulence, I fall asleep. (Not so great if one is responsible for navigation.) Once I was on a small commercial twin prop plane, in Mexico, and we hit some rather stiff turbulence, so I fell promptly asleep. I awoke when we landed, and all the other passengers were angry at me. I asked my husband why, and he told me I was the only one that wasn't violently vomiting, and that annoyed them.

  2. Why were you traumatized by that? The only time I was ever freaked, was when my mom was flying our Cessna 210, under IFR conditions, and made me handle the radio. We were at 24,000 feet, then hit a freak air pocket, and were slammed down to 13,000 feet. That put us in someone else's flight path, I had to notify traffic control, while my mom frantically started climbing back to where we were supposed to be. That was scary.

  3. I'd be more concerned with ice in the pitot tubes.

  4. Air turbulence. I find it peaceful.

  5.  @matthewcurry3565  You stated a falsehood, and were corrected. Accept that you were wrong, and that aircraft stay aloft due to Bernoulli's principle, not the ambient air pressure.
