Frequently Asked Questions
What does the turbulence map show?
The turbulence map shows historical turbulence scores for 300+ routes worldwide, color-coded by severity. Filter by region type (transatlantic, mountain, Europe, etc.) or severity level to find the roughest or smoothest routes for your flight.
Which routes are most turbulent?
Mountain routes over the Andes (Santiago–Mendoza) score highest at 90–95/100. US Rocky Mountain routes (Denver–Jackson Hole) score 70–85. Transatlantic routes in winter score 50–70. European short-haul and Middle Eastern routes are typically the calmest at 15–35.
How are turbulence scores calculated?
Scores are derived from years of PIREP (pilot report) data, EDR (eddy dissipation rate) sensor readings from aircraft, and SIGMET frequency. A score of 100 = world's most turbulent route (Andes crossings). Score 50 = moderate turbulence frequently reported.
How often is turbulence data updated?
Historical route scores update monthly. For real-time live PIREP and SIGMET data (updated every 15 minutes), download the TurboTrack app — free on iOS and Android.
