“Is Turbulence Getting Worse?” + Asking A Pilot All Of My Other Fear Of Flying Questions


Listen Later

Are you an anxious flier? Ease your anxiety with Kyle Koukol, Pilot and Founder of Dial A Pilot. Kyle explains why flying is not dangerous, the many procedures that pilots use to ensure safety, what’s really causing turbulence, and more.

Kyle begins by addressing turbulence – what it is, why we are seeing more of it, and why it will never take down a plane. He also explains the technology that allows pilots to avoid turbulence. 

As a pilot of Boeing planes, Kyle explains why media concerns about Boeing vehicles are overexaggerated, and why pilots love flying Boeing models.
