DLA to ORY Turbulence Forecast

Typical turbulence along the route

Historical average pattern for DLA–ORY

About the DLA–ORY route

The Douala to Paris route crosses the North Atlantic, where the jet stream is the primary source of turbulence. Flying at 37,000 feet, the aircraft encounters the strongest bumps roughly 2–5 hours into the flight. This is clear-air turbulence — no clouds, no visual warning — which makes a pre-flight forecast especially valuable.

The route is served by Air France on Airbus A350 · Boeing 777 aircraft, with flights typically cruising at 37,000 feet over a distance of 3,798 miles (3,300 nautical miles).

💡 Tip: Turbulence peaks mid-flight over the Atlantic. First and last hour are usually smooth.
