As part of a joint effort to reduce turbulence-related injuries and minimize aircraft damage, an aviation industry/government team has developed a new training aid to increase awareness and help airline crew members avoid turbulence. The Training Aid was produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Air Transport Association (ATA). The training aid, which includes an illustrated manual and a 26-minute video, is designed to give pilots and other aviation professionals heightened awareness of weather conditions that can cause tubulence, pointers on how to avoid it, and ways to minimize risk in unavoidable encounters. The intended audience includes flight crews, flight attendants, dispatchers, and aviation meteorologists. The training video emphasizes the need for clear communication between the dispatcher, the cockpit and cabin during all phases of flight. The program also highlights the need for flight attendants to maintain a constant state of readiness for unexpected turbulence in aircraft cabins, urging passengers to keep their seat belts fastened at all times. The program is part of the FAA's Turbulence Happens safety campaign to promote the use of seat belts and child restraints abroad commercial aircraft to prevent turbulence related injuries.
