What describes light turbulence?

Light turbulence is characterized by a slight strain against the seatbelt and any loose objects remaining at rest. This type of turbulence typically does not cause significant movement within the cabin, making it a relatively mild experience for passengers and crew alike. During light turbulence, individuals may feel a gentle rocking motion, but it is manageable and does not require any major adjustments or precautions. This phenomenon is common during flight, especially when flying through varying air currents, and is a normal part of flying.

In contrast, the other descriptions correspond to different levels of turbulence. Rapid shaking and structural integrity risk indicate a much more severe turbulence, possibly causing discomfort or danger. Occupants preparing for extreme disturbance suggests a level of urgency and concern that is not typical in light turbulence situations, and complete stillness and tranquility do not align with any turbulence, as by nature, turbulence implies some level of movement or disturbance in the air.
