Whos Jude?

How did you measure the G force?

This one? Doesn't seem visible in the ADS-B data.

What did Jude say when you asked him/her? Did they take a sad song and make it better?

[sherman]

Did the steward just give the flight crew a cup of really hot coffee in a cheap paper cup 1 minute before this abrupt manouver?

Does it matter? Are you going to help or just be a bellend?

Don't know if there's a better dataset but you can see something happened at 13.20, the descent is interrupted and the aircraft climbs before continuing to descend again. Airspeed briefly increases too which is a glitch in the overall trend.

Looks like an autopilot descent up to that point as the plot is so straight, after that the profile is different for 5 or 6 minutes.

Did you have your seatbelt on?

It will help the NTSB investigation if you answer the questions.

It did make a left turn over the North Sea about 30 mins out which is out of line with that flight’s usual track.

I’d say the pilots forgot where they going and had an “oh st” moment.

OP, what "help" are you after? Sounds like you hit some turbulence and that triggered some understandable hysteria amongst the passengers and fired up your imagination. Could have been the wake of an aircraft ahead of you, could have been clear air turbulence, who knows? (no one on this thread).

Odd that there was no communication from the pilots.

Busy flying the plane, clear air turbulence I'm guessing

Yes thank goodness as did everyone, including the stewards.

Surely though they could do the course correction gradually and with little to no height correction

Closure/ understanding I think. I am not able to really understand teh flight data or anything and my hope was a pilot or expert could offer some interpretation of events.

But why afterwards, once settled pop the seatbelt sign on and offer the explanation as to what happened?
