It's not severe turbulence unless the flight crew shout "sit down NOW" over the intercom ! That happened to me on a descent through storm clouds into Bologna, with objects and people flying around the cabin. Not nice.
Yeah as a passenger I was waiting for the severe part throughout the entire video. I’ve been in what I’d call severe, landing in stormy weather on the West coast of Norway where sea meets tall mountains. Felt like the whole plane being pushed in three different angles at the same time, almost as if aerodynamics and engine power didn’t matter. Seconds later from completely different directions… People screaming, locals telling me how they had never been in such a bad one. It was only after arrival, travelling in the bus along the sea, seeing waves crashing that I understood how the forces of nature were at swing. It was also the most stunning and spectacular view and light and landing I had ever experienced but I was shaking for half an hour after landing. I’ve been afraid of flying ever since. At least in Northern Europe.
At least on camera, that appeared to be light turbulence. As a frequent flyer, I've experienced a wide range. Worst was on a flight to Brazil, when we hit a rough patch that caused the plane to unexpectedly plummet. I was stupidly not wearing my seat belt, jolted out of my seat, and hit my head on the ceiling above me. I was ok, thankfully, but that experience taught me to keep my seat belt fastened whenever seated.
I agree - I kept waiting for the "severe" part, but then a passenger who's maybe never experienced true severe turbulence will consider any to be such 😄.
😂 I knew it wasn’t worth watching when I started the video! Yet I still held on to see the “severe” turbulence. There’s more turbulence on a wooden roller coaster.
For those commenting on how long the flaps were out. That departure off ZQN RWY23 has speed and altitude requirements. The flap can’t be retracted until after passing those constraints (approx 10000ft). Going by the cabin, it looks like it is an Air New Zealand A321-Neo.
That was light to moderate turbulence at the most. Flaps out for ‘so long’ nothing to do with turbulence. More to do with the terrain, the high acceleration altitude and the fact that you don’t want to clean up and be headed in the opposite direction to where you’re going at high speed.
True but mostly flaps being delayed is because of noise abatement on take off (higher acceleration altitude) best performance or angle of climb is with clean flaps at a certain low speed (airbus calls it green dot)
Queenstown take off and departure pattern is different from other airports and this take off is perfect. The high angle turns are to avoid the nearby mountain climbing heights.
I’m a student pilot training for commercial aviation. Believe you me, when I say that that was the mild side of light turbulence. I haven’t even been in “severe turbulence” yet and I fly multiple times per week.
When your head is hitting off the roof of the plane, your eyeballs are shaking so much you can hardly read the instruments(good luck trying to enter in a new radio frequency or QNH), as for keeping the wings level or the aircraft on course or at an assigned height, only mother nature decides that...
You flew into weather; there's no question about it. Often times, camera footage may not reflect, what you might be experiencing inside. I was a medevac nurse/ paramedic , and with each bumpy flight, they became less intimidating. There were times, when we were bounced everywhere, but by the time I was ready to end this aspect of my career, what would have been totally scary, was not scary at all.
Thankfully, most passengers will only experience light to a moderate turbulence at an altitude. Just to give you some frame of reference, in a severe turbulence you won't be able to stand, walk or hold your camera, you may momentary lose the control of the aircraft (if you're a pilot). In the extreme turbulence, you can't see instruments clearly, and loss of control is more pronounced (up to a full loss of control). I've experienced major turbulence in the cockpit, in the pressurized cargo area, and as a passenger. For some reason, flying as a passenger it feels the worst (especially when overhead bins open and luggage falls down when flying over Atlantic. Yes, it did happen to me). Suggestion, become a pilot, then you are sort of in control 🙂 Fly safe!
Severe turbulence is marked by an inability to hold your phone still enough to film anything. Like other have said that's mild. I've bashed my head against the side of the window in one thunderstorm.
At best, this is mild turbulence as much as I've seen. I flew from Singapore to Manila through the foothills of a typhoon, and we had 3 hours of really moderate turbulence. The plane was going up and down, left and right throughout. I could hardly sleep because I was always banging my head against the window. It was really annoying...
Here in the US we call that light turbulence at most. Severe turbulence is when you see people flying up and down from their seats and baggage falling down all over the cabin., nice take off though.
I love flying out of ZQN. One of my fave departure airports. Didn't look like severe turbulence. Looks like light chop. You need to fly into and out of Wellington for turbulence!
With my luck one time, I was in the bathroom when I heard the flight attendant say something about returning to our seats. The plane dropped and I bonked my head on the bathroom ceiling. Sigh. Making it back to my seat in turbulence was like running a marathon.
The clip has finished and I'm still waiting to see any turbulence let alone severe? Severe is very rare and it's to the point that people are thrown out of their seats and the aircraft drops sharply in altitude. This is a regular take off. Aircraft is climbing to cruising altitude, of course it's going to be a bit bumpy till you reach cruise.
I've had rougher trips to the toilet! Ive also been on a flight with severe turbulence, where a stewardess hit the ceiling, overhead lockers bursting open and everything flying about and literally everyone screaming.
If you want to see severe/extreme turbulence, watch the passenger videos of the LATAM A320 😮 That looked terrifying. This seems pretty usual for a few lumps and bumps on takeoff.
I flew 2 weeks out of every month for years and I'll be honest, that is what seasoned flyers would call a bumpy take-off. I remember landing in Menphis with multiple tornados on the ground in close proximity to the airport. People were screaming and some praying. I'll be honest, I didn't think I would stand on the ground in one piece again.
“severe turbulence” has a very specific definition such as substantial change in speed/altitude and momentary loss of control (remembered from my pilot’s exam). When I flew with my wife over the mountains we were like sitting in roller coaster and she kept throwing out. I was only willing to call it a “moderate turbulence” as I was still positively controlling the aircraft. It was not something fun but nothing dangerous. I would not call the situation in the video even a light chop. To make it several, I expect at least see flight attendants get tossed around along with the baggages.
When you are a nervous flyer all turbulence is scary and severe. Just remember it’s uncomfortable but it’s safe. Allow your body to go with the bumps like on a rollercoaster. Then remind yourself that turbulence is like going on a bumpy road in a car or bus.
My prayer life springs into play every time I fly in bumpy weather. At least with the airlines, you are covering ground fast and the pilots can try to find smoother air up high.
Took off from Oahu during a rain storm. Pilot waited until a little clear and off we went. Normal when you pass through clouds and if it’s windy. Nothing the plane can’t handle. Nerve racking a bit. Haha. Once you go over the clouds is smooth sailing.
This amount of turbulence was nothing compared to when I was on a 737 from LAX to SFO when the wings looked like they were flapping like a bird. According to weather map, we crossed the jet stream. I don't know for sure if that was the cause of the turbulence, but I suspect that it was.
That wasn’t even moderate turbulence.😂 You’d have known severe turbulence by hearing the passengers screaming in utter panic and objects flying about the cabin. Oh, by the way….9,000 hour pilot here who has been in severe turbulence.
Did the severe turbulence part of the video get accidentally edited out? Because all I saw was some light chop. This was smooth compared to what I experienced flying over the Rockies in Montana one time and landing in a severe windstorm in the Bay Area another time. There were people puking on both planes...this was nothing.
The only airline I know (and I fly number of airlines during a year) that cancelled frequent flying points which expired due to Covid!! A mean spirited company! (and Im a NZ'er)
I’m an aircraft dispatcher and fly frequently - i know it seems severe to many passengers, but realistically, you encountered a few seconds of moderate turbulence interspersed with some light chop. Most of the ascent appeared to be quite pleasant actually given the mountainous terrain and weather.
It’s due to a minimum climb gradient on an RNAV departure due to terrain. You literally do a full climbing circle up to 12,000ft and your max speed is 180 knots which is well below clean speed. Has nothing to do with the bumps but the SID requirements. There wasn’t even much turb either, hardly any aileron deflection.
This is light to moderate chop filmed by a nervous flyer. Their perspective on this would change if they ever took flight lessons or a trip in a small plane. Little bumps, this. When your body starts getting thrown around, THATS turbulence.
You know what really calms people during flight anxiety? Not having someone else filming the experience like they're expecting something to happen!!!! F*********
Thats light, with maybe some moderate. Its not severe unless people are screaming, and the seatbelt is the only thing keeping you from coming out of the seat
Was this your first time in an airplane? That "severe turbulence" at 7:03 is actually considered "light chop" and is routine in almost every flight at some point.
My dad flies for American. He told me he’s only hit severe turbulence once in his career. It was landing over in Asia. They were having a typhoon and he said people were screaming and throwing up. Power full then reduce…engine roar then quiet. Apparently he nailed the landing so he says lol. Ya severe turbulence stuff starts to fall out of bins, go airborne etc. In my opinion most people think severe turbulence is moderate at most.
The vulnerability of humans when boxed inside an aluminium can and pitted against the forces of nature.........hoping and praying that the 2 lads up front with their reassuring voices have everything under control.
People are always labeling mild turbulence as "severe" turbulence. Severe turbulence means anything not tied down would be flying around the cabin and people screaming like they're on a roller coaster.
This was similar to what happened when I was on a flight from Auckland to Dunedin. The pilot changed course to Christchurch to refuel then we flew back to Auckland.
Where id the turbulence? I was on a regional flight from Baton Rouge to Houston and watched the beverage cart and a flight attendant almost get slammed to the ceiling. Stuff everywhere. And it happened in a split second with zero warning.
Once when I was a passenger on a 737 approaching Oslo Airport, we had some sudden turbulence where a woman that hadn't fastened her seatbelt was eject from her seat into the ceiling and hit her head, a flight attended also injured her arm, the shaking only lasted for a few seconds but thats my worst experience flying.
In 2007 the Transavia Boeing 737 "Tamarinde" from Venice to Amsterdam flew into a cumulonimbus cloud because the air was filled with it, and suddenly it seemed if someone kicked the plane aside. We fell down a couple of minutes and the pilot had lost the controls completely. Everyone screamed, men and women. I did' nt because I am a pilot myself and was looking if we could escape the fall. And after a couple of minutes the plane got the controls back and then everybody wanted an explanation from the captain. He did not say a word until five minutes later his tiny voice sounded: "From now on it only can be better!"
As a nervous flyer, I can’t stand any turbulence. Thankfully I’ve never been in severe turbulence (or probably not even moderate turbulence to be honest), but ANY turbulence or bumpiness makes me a wreck. 😢
That was most definitely not 'Severe' turbulence. Maybe light to moderate. Severe turbulence is when the aircraft is violently bouncing between 2000 to 3000 ft in altitude, overhead compartment doors open on their own and carry-on luggage spills onto people's heads, items loose in the cabin float in the air with each drop as passengers scream in terror, and the wings begin to flap up and down like a bird. Most people never experience heavy or 'severe' turbulence, but if you do, you will never forget it.
Nice clean window thanks to the rain... It may have been the second thing I learnt as a trainee pilot; with cloud comes turbulence...avoid cloud if poss. This was not severe turbulence, just a bit bumpy.
The wings did not flap and no one blew lunch. Severe turbulence is penetrating a T storm at 18k in a light twin (C421A). Could not read the dashboard on that hop.
Not severe turbulence at all. I recently flew from Cairns to Melbourne. Mid flight the seatbelt sign illuminated and within seconds we were getting shaken about for a good 15 minutes before the pilots decided to decend to a lower altitude to avoid it. Even that was considered "mild" These pilots knew to fly steady by keeping the flaps out to help with stability. They did well
I'm not trying to minimize you're fright by any means, but this is NOT severe turbulence. At most, this was light to occasional moderate. In a severe turbulence event, people would have been violently thrown against their seat belts, and you'd have heard all sorts of noises in the cabin as baggage, beverage carts in the galleys, etc etc get slammed around even while still in their stowage areas. There are several videos of such events, check them out--one of which is the British Airways 777 over South America.
Interesting catch that he turns out and heads straight for the disturbance in the clouds rather than going around it.Maybe due to fuel limitations of course, but yes thrown around a bit bumpy up there matey well caught.
Light to moderate turbulence at most. I’ve logged well over two thousand flights. When people come off their seats and the seatbelts pull on their hips, then you have some heavy turbulence. Not to say the ride wasn’t a bit bumpy, but that’s typical when coming up through rain or even summer cumulous clouds.
You did not experience severe turbulence, it was light to moderate turbulence if anything. Serve turbulence is when things start falling from overhead bins.

As a pilot I can promise you, this was most definitely not even close to severe turbulence. That was what we call "light chop."
Its kinda obvious whats gonna happen right, shitty weather and alot of clouds. that means a bit a bumpy ride right!

Some people will never learn.

I've heard of such mishaps and that is why, like you, my seat belt is always fastened, visits to the loo the exception.
Give me those 11 minutes of my life back

Ah, you saved me from wasting mine. Not going to bother. 😀

@@giffordious01 video stabilization, the wings tho do move mildly.
Queensland? Queenstown?
You do flaps climb even in a nice weather?
nailed it
I've always found that severe turbulence is accompanied by lots of screaming and praying.
Kiwis are built different
🤣
That was light to moderate turbulence at the most. Flaps out for ‘so long’ nothing to do with turbulence. More to do with the terrain, the high acceleration altitude and the fact that you don’t want to clean up and be headed in the opposite direction to where you’re going at high speed.
Ah yes, severe turbulence.
Flaps stay at that position during low speed climb i think. If you retract those flaps you increase you stall speed.
True but mostly flaps being delayed is because of noise abatement on take off (higher acceleration altitude) best performance or angle of climb is with clean flaps at a certain low speed (airbus calls it green dot)
I think what you meant by that is light chop, this is due to the rhythmic bumpiness
Nice sayed dude
It just looks like normal turbulence to me, not severe turbulence
typical NZ conditions ...
Feels different when your up there.
Yeah well you can’t really tell from the video can you

Severe turbulence is when the plane is out of control. Most professional pilots have never experienced severe turbulence. It’s quite uncommon.
Didn't see severe at all. Light to maybe a touch of moderate at best. What I did see was a stunning departure! Thanks for sharing!

The more we fly the less afraid we are . It's only natural to have some fear because we are not always in the air .
I was waiting for the turbulence. Did I miss something?
This is light to moderate turbulence. It's pretty normal, so no need to worry.

i wouldn't want to fly with you. Seem quite unlucky
How did you experience turbulence in a pressurized cargo area?
As a nervous flyer who lived in queenstown for 18 months, I got very nervous for take off's and landings here. Definitely got the adrenaline going!
Severe turbulence is marked by an inability to hold your phone still enough to film anything. Like other have said that's mild. I've bashed my head against the side of the window in one thunderstorm.
We had severe turbulence once. I was terrified. No one screamed, we were all eerily silent. It was the longest fifteen minutes of my life.
Lol, It happens all day, every day everywhere. I get my share of anxiety though, not just in the air.
At best, this is mild turbulence as much as I've seen. I flew from Singapore to Manila through the foothills of a typhoon, and we had 3 hours of really moderate turbulence. The plane was going up and down, left and right throughout. I could hardly sleep because I was always banging my head against the window. It was really annoying...
Like so many more people viewing this we’ve all been in worse, this to me is normal taking off over water and mountain terrain
Nice shot. The takeoff view of Queenstown looks spectacular even in bad weather!
What was severe about it???
Here in the US we call that light turbulence at most. Severe turbulence is when you see people flying up and down from their seats and baggage falling down all over the cabin., nice take off though.
There'd be more turbulence if I farted in the bath tub
Never forget the sight of the first 787 flying overhead with that beautiful black livery

A nice video of the take off and departure segment. on a scale of 1-10, ten being the worst, what was the turbulence like?
1 by the looks of it.
If you think that's severe turbulence, try travelling in Indian monsoon. You will be amazed what turbulence means. This is a very very normal flight .
I’m an aircraft dispatcher and fly frequently - i know it seems severe to many passengers, but realistically, you encountered a few seconds of moderate turbulence interspersed with some light chop. Most of the ascent appeared to be quite pleasant actually given the mountainous terrain and weather.
I do not call it a severe turbulence; I went through worse
Your medal is in the post
Flaps down for that much time tells me that was a rough climb out.Well captured.
I was going to say the same thing the flaps extended for a long time after departure
It’s due to a minimum climb gradient on an RNAV departure due to terrain. You literally do a full climbing circle up to 12,000ft and your max speed is 180 knots which is well below clean speed. Has nothing to do with the bumps but the SID requirements. There wasn’t even much turb either, hardly any aileron deflection.

BINGO
Turbulence? When?
It's mountain terrain there. And where was the turbulence?
Looking pretty standard to me! Hope you loved your time in NZ x
Passengers think this is “severe turbulence”, but to pilots this was just LIGHT turbulence. Moderate at the most.
Fare away from heavy turbulaces my friend. But yeah little bit 👍
Beautiful take off
Aren't they all . I love takeoffs and landings.
The title is a stupid clickbait, but what a stunning departure it was! I'd love to experience that!
I was still waiting for the severe turbulence when the clip ended.
Looks like a pretty nice flight.
Do A320s make that much? Sitting at 10a or 10f at takeoff can cause a wide range of ear pain
And also Latam’s a320 at 5a caused some vibrations because of noise
Despite the weather, such a beautiful view of the mountains with the weather and clouds!!
This is light to moderate chop filmed by a nervous flyer. Their perspective on this would change if they ever took flight lessons or a trip in a small plane. Little bumps, this. When your body starts getting thrown around, THATS turbulence.

Ditto Chris, in the past I've rated turbulence as severe when my headset has been pulled upwards and of my head.

Glad you survived, looked horrific, could hardly hear the PA system for the screaming.
If you want severe turbulence, try to fly into Adak Island in Alaska. Puts a lot of rollercoaster rides to shame.
That was most definitely not 'Severe' turbulence. Maybe light to moderate. Severe turbulence is when the aircraft is violently bouncing between 2000 to 3000 ft in altitude, overhead compartment doors open on their own and carry-on luggage spills onto people's heads, items loose in the cabin float in the air with each drop as passengers scream in terror, and the wings begin to flap up and down like a bird. Most people never experience heavy or 'severe' turbulence, but if you do, you will never forget it.
What's the plane model?
Nice clean window thanks to the rain... It may have been the second thing I learnt as a trainee pilot; with cloud comes turbulence...avoid cloud if poss. This was not severe turbulence, just a bit bumpy.
Wow. That was rough, roughest I've ever seen, How did you survive that? All that screaming of terrified peopzzzz.......

The wings did not flap and no one blew lunch. Severe turbulence is penetrating a T storm at 18k in a light twin (C421A). Could not read the dashboard on that hop.
That pilot sure kept the flaps extended for a long time.
Not severe turbulence at all. I recently flew from Cairns to Melbourne. Mid flight the seatbelt sign illuminated and within seconds we were getting shaken about for a good 15 minutes before the pilots decided to decend to a lower altitude to avoid it. Even that was considered "mild"
These pilots knew to fly steady by keeping the flaps out to help with stability. They did well
I'm not trying to minimize you're fright by any means, but this is NOT severe turbulence.
At most, this was light to occasional moderate. In a severe turbulence event, people would
have been violently thrown against their seat belts, and you'd have heard all sorts of noises
in the cabin as baggage, beverage carts in the galleys, etc etc get slammed around even while
still in their stowage areas. There are several videos of such events, check them out--one of
which is the British Airways 777 over South America.
Interesting catch that he turns out and heads straight for the disturbance in the clouds rather than going around it.Maybe due to fuel limitations of course, but yes thrown around a bit bumpy up there matey well caught.
The mountains around ZQN don't allow for much in the way of diversion.
Got very strict flight routes in and our of Queenstown due to the mountains. Gives pilots the ability to land and take off in marginal weather
You can’t deviate off the SID. It’s an RNAV departure with strict speed and altitude requirements due to surrounding terrain.
Hi Chris can you tell us all
Can plain crash with Turbulence ????
I hardly noticed any turbulence? Sat through the whole video but its ok, nice scenery
A321 NX??
I love the A321NX
Light to moderate turbulence at most. I’ve logged well over two thousand flights. When people come off their seats and the seatbelts pull on their hips, then you have some heavy turbulence. Not to say the ride wasn’t a bit bumpy, but that’s typical when coming up through rain or even summer cumulous clouds.
You did not experience severe turbulence, it was light to moderate turbulence if anything. Serve turbulence is when things start falling from overhead bins.
