Hello guys,
i am not a pilot, just a jolted passenger after a rough flight.
I have been flying for 24 years with no issues, and suddenly and afraid to fly....I had a particularly bad experience recently and was hoping someone could give me an explanation as to what happened.
I was flying back from Las Vegas to LAX on southwest about 2 years ago, we were preparing for decent when out of no were the entire plane dipped on its left side ( felt like vertical but probably 10-20 % tilt....almost immediately it felt like the auto pilot kicked in and we were bounced back to level flying.
Everyone was shaken on board, and pilot made no announcement.
It felt like he nudged the stick with his leg!
Anyone have an explanation?
