ahhhhhh........but what if your flying into an airport like Palm Springs where Moderate turbulence is 99% of the time in effect??????

Couple of weeks ago we were advised of some turb going in there descending thru 8,000ft. it was the worst turb I've ever been in. I had no idea what was going on. I could not control the aircraft until the turb had stopped. Once I was in it, there was no turning back because no dials could be read. If you lifted your hands off the wheels they would have been violently thrown against something. We were thru the bad stuff at around 4,500 ft.
