    Flew in and out of Stapleton only but it was most often quite windy. Used to do between Denver and Colorado Springs including on Rocky Mountain Airways (usually a Twin Otter). Could feel the turbulance and ears popping on the descent. Nice landing. Those longer runways at Denver International must come in handy.

    Go to the beginning of the Severe Turbulence section around 7:20 in. Unfortunately the image stabilization on my phone is almost too good but you can see the times it does rattle pretty good and the stabilization couldn’t keep up, was basically because I was floating in my seat and the camera went for a bit of a ride

I need to see family in Denver, but I can’t take those landing approaches.. I’m too anxious. Im willing to drive 8 hours from Salt Lake City in order to avoid this.

    Thank you for the upload. I hate to say this but that isn't an extremely turbulent or "crazy bumpy" approach. I do respect your thoughts on this but this flight here would honestly be considered fairly low chop or turbulence. My family and I fly probably 10 times a year and I can't remember many times where (anywhere) there wasn't some light chop either during takeoff or landing. I've been on a few flights where moderate and reasonably serious turbulence (not severe) occurred and I can tell that this isn't at all what that is. You'll know it when you come across it, believe me. But you know what, even on those few rare occasions, the pilots and plane had no problem simply bringing us through it. It was no big deal at all.
