In order to understand how commercial airline pilots and flight attendants (FAs) assess and make decisions concerning clear air turbulence (CAT), two surveys were conducted (Search Technology, 1998a; 1998b). Questions asked how pilots assess turbulence including what information they gather and use during the pre-flight and in-flight phases. Although the FAA has recommended turbulence procedures, the surveys were designed to investigate what decisions they actually make in turbulence. A previous paper details the pilot survey results (Bass & Ernst-Fortin, 1999). This paper discusses the FA survey results, differences found between the two communities with regard to turbulence judgments and decision making, and suggested improvements.
