Leaving a Track. Scientists generally agree that CAT occurs when a stream of fast-flowing air passes through an air mass moving at a lower velocity or in the opposite direction. The resulting shearing action produces turbulence-often severe-at the boundaries of the stream. CAT is usually encountered near the constantly shifting west-to-east jet stream and near mountain ranges, where cold air frequently spills at great speed down the leeward slopes. Although the turbulence is obvious to any pilot caught in it, it cannot be seen by the human eye. Attempts to detect CAT with devices that...

...executive jet, one of the brightest gleams in the eye of the aircraft industry, is having a bit of trouble. Of the 25,000 corporate-owned planes now flying, only about 350 are jets. And with the past year's tight money, lower profits and suspension of the investment tax credit, many a businessman concluded that a private jet was an extra that his company could do without...
