Question

25. Which of the following should a pilot do if they encounter turbulence?

Group of answer choices

Contact ATC to warn other aircraft and possibly request an altitude change to escape the turbulence.

Ensure that the crew and passengers are aware of the type of turbulence.

All of the answers are correct

Speed up the aircraft to reduce the risk of structural damage and reduces vibrations.

Answer 1

Choose the option about contacting ATC (and requesting an altitude change).

Also: inform and secure the crew and passengers (fasten seat belts, secure cabin) and avoid abrupt control inputs. Do NOT speed up—reduce to the published turbulence-penetration (or maneuvering) speed to minimize structural loads.
