air pocket
An air pocket is a region or pocket of air in which the air pressure and density differs from the surrounding atmosphere, often causing turbulence when encountered by an aircraft. It can cause sudden changes in an aircraft's altitude, leading to a brief sinking feeling or a slight jolt for the passengers. These pockets often occur in clear air without any visual or radar indications to warn pilots. However, they are typically harmless and do not pose significant threats to flights.
