Extremely bumpy take off from IAD today
Hi I fly a lot and am slightly anxious due to my grandfather dying in plane crash (private) and a few flight emergencies. I deal with turbulence pretty well but our take off in an EJ175 was just strong moderate until we reached 12K - felt like a bucking bronco and people were gasping and nervous. I checked PIREPS and sure enough said 0-10K moderate turbulence.
I know we’re good (light bumps on decent to CMH) but if someone tracks me I feel better. Thank you!
PS ordered a mimosa
