7.5.2.1 THUNDERSTORM - Light
Tap this button to set the thunderstorm turbulence intensity to light (33%).
7.5.2.2 THUNDERSTORM - Moderate
Tap this button to set the thunderstorm turbulence intensity to moderate (66%).
7.5.2.3 THUNDERSTORM - Severe
Tap this button to set the thunderstorm turbulence intensity to severe (100%).
7.5.2.4 Intensity
Tap this input text field to display a keypad that will allow you to modify the intensity
level of the thunderstorm turbulence (Min = 0, Max = 100%).
7.5.3 LOW LEVEL Turbulence
Low level turbulence is only felt at certain altitudes.
At altitudes above 500 ft AGL and below 5000 ft AGL, 100% of the nominal low
level turbulence intensity is felt.
At altitudes above 10,000 ft AGL, low level turbulence is not felt.
At altitudes between 5,000 ft AGL and 10000 ft AGL, the nominal turbulence
intensity is linearly faded as a function of altitude AGL.
At altitudes above 50 ft AGL and below 500 ft AGL, the nominal turbulence intensity
is exponentially faded as a function of altitude AGL.
At altitudes below 50 ft AGL, the nominal turbulence intensity is linearly faded as a
function of altitude AGL. Low level turbulence is not felt while on the ground.
