May have been severe, in their eyes....

[/ QUOTE ]I don't think anybody is arguing that, Lloyd. However, the definition of severe turbulence is not really subjective, nor based on aircraft size or pilot experience. It is objectively defined to apply to all aircraft regardless of size ... see the relevant quote from Doug above.

Agree...to a certain extent.

However, what may very well be severe turbulence may not affect a 737 the same way that it does a Cessna 172. Simply because it's light turbulence to a 737 doesn't mean that it isn't severe for a Cessna 172.

Not arguing...lol.
