London – New York, today: some bumps along the US East Coast around 6 pm.
A few firm bumps during the descent: coffee shakes, you feel the seat belt. The rest of the flight, almost nothing.
The aircraft is tested for far more than the worst bumps, and no modern airliner has been lost because of them. Pilots see them coming, slow down, change altitude. One rule: seat belt fastened when seated.
