http://www.post-gazette.com/news/transp ... 1802020191A Pennsylvania woman who says she was among the injured when an Allegiant Air flight hit heavy turbulence over the Bahamas in 2016 on its way to Pittsburgh has sued the airline, saying the crew should have detected the turbulence and avoided it.
...
The airline said at the time that the injuries were caused by "unreported moderate clear air turbulence. "
In her suit, Ms. Kuhn said the plane's radar should have detected the turbulence and avoided it. She also said the passengers should have been warned and were not.
Turbulence doesn't show up on radar. Radar detects water, such as clouds, rain, or snow. Unless the turbulence is in connection with clouds, it's invisible to radar.
