Dear Edinburgh to Belfast Flyers


It is unusual for pilots to warn passengers that the flight will be 'bumpy'. Signifying that it will be a turbulent flight. Flying on a small plane, ie Fokker, is never that stable, but yesterday it was pretty shaky. I can feel the plane swaying from left to right, rotating. I must say it is not an easy job for the pilot to control the plane with 15/16 knots of wind. I always thought that turbulence can only caused by difference in pressure.

The worst I have experienced so far was on an international flight, big plane, dropping down 100 feet, well, describing it as like on a roller coaster would be similar.
