Your Flight

We analysed more than 400 data points along your route from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix to Tucson International Airport / Morris Air National Guard Base, Tucson.

Your Journey Beta

Some bumpy patches are scattered throughout the flight. Keep your seatbelt fastened when seated.

Your route takes you across the Sonoran Desert – conditions there can sometimes cause light turbulence.

Mostly Smooth

Overall conditions look mostly smooth with some light bumps expected. Pilots often adjust altitude or route to find smoother air.

Takeoff

Takeoff should feel a bit bumpy initially, with calm conditions around the airport.

Winds Aloft

Winds at cruising altitude are about 37 knots.

Landing

Landing should feel a bit bumpy on descent with typical approach conditions.

🌙 Evening Flight

Evening and night flights typically offer smoother conditions as thermal activity subsides and the atmosphere stabilizes after sunset.

Regional Jet (Small)

Regional jets are smaller and lighter, so turbulence may be more noticeable to passengers. However, they are fully certified and safe for all weather conditions.
