What if the landing gear fails?
49% of fatal accidents occur when the plane is landing as opposed to any other time. In the event that something goes wrong and the plane is unable to land properly, the pilot will perform a risky maneuver called a "belly landing" or "gear-up landing", which is when the aircraft uses its underside, or belly, as its primary landing device.
Is turbulence actually dangerous?
No matter how brave you are, turbulence is most certainly a frightening thing to experience. Fortunately, this phenomenon is extremely common and almost never an indication of danger. Turbulence is simply rough air; no matter how much the plane shakes, the minor change in altitude is rarely more than 20 feet.
