☀️ Morning Flight

Morning flights typically experience smoother conditions as the atmosphere is more stable and thermal turbulence hasn't yet developed.

Turboprop Aircraft (Small)

Turboprop aircraft typically fly at lower altitudes where turbulence can be more common. You may feel more movement, but these aircraft are designed to safely handle turbulent conditions.
