Editor’s Note: Air Facts video classics are selections from the popular Air Facts video series developed by the late Richard Collins originally created for Sporty’s original pilot training video productions.
Few pilots explained weather phenomena as clearly as Richard Collins. In this video classic, Richard breaks down the topic of turbulence—how to anticipate it, how to react when you encounter it, and how to fly smart in rough air. He discusses the role of airspeed, the significance of the v-g diagram, and offers practical tips to help pilots stay safe and comfortable when conditions get bumpy.
Air Facts began in 1938 with Leighton Collins’ vision to promote private air transportation. Today, as an online journal, Air Facts brings pilots together by sharing real-world flying experiences that inspire learning, good judgment, and a love of flying.
