Singapore turbulence flight investigation finds sharp altitude drop caused injuries
#1

Preliminary findings of an investigation into a Singapore Airlines flight hit by severe turbulence last week showed a rapid change in gravitational force and a 54 metre altitude drop caused injuries, Singapore's transport ministry said on Wednesday.

The report also said a pilot was heard calling out that the fasten seat belt sign had been switched on.

I don't believe that a board of inquiry or investigation team is required to report that turbulence occurs when a plane hits a strong wind current that pushes or pulls it down. Even though most commercial flights go high enough to avoid such wind patterns, gusts may happen at any altitude.
