Status	Attribute label	Enumerant label ▾	Concept definition	Code	Ref type	Reference	Supplemental references
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	EXTREME	Turbulence in which the <AIRCRAFT> is violently tossed about, and is practically impossible to control; extreme. Extreme turbulence may cause structural damage to the <AIRCRAFT>.	8	IR	[AIM, Table 7-1-7:Extreme]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	LIGHT	Turbulence that momentarily causes slight, erratic changes in <AIRCRAFT> altitude and/or attitude (pitch, roll, yaw) or turbulence that causes slight, rapid and somewhat rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable changes in <AIRCRAFT> altitude or attitude; light.	2	IR	[AIM, Table 7-1-7:Light]	[JMCDM, "AIRCRAFT-TURBULENCE-OBSERVATION frequency code":5]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	LIGHT_TO_MODERATE	Between <<<LIGHT>>> and <<<MODERATE>>>.	3	IR	[JMCDM, "AIRCRAFT-TURBULENCE-OBSERVATION intensity code":2]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	MODERATE	Turbulence that causes changes in <AIRCRAFT> altitude and/or attitude occurs but the <AIRCRAFT> remains in positive control at all times despite variations in indicated airspeed, or turbulence that is similar to <<<LIGHT>>> but of greater intensity, causing rapid bumps or jolts without appreciable changes in <AIRCRAFT> altitude or attitude; moderate.	4	IR	[AIM, Table 7-1-7:Moderate]	[JMCDM, "AIRCRAFT-TURBULENCE-OBSERVATION intensity code":3 and "ATMOSPHERIC-TURBULENCE-ANALYSIS-FORECAST turbulence intensity code":2]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	MODERATE_TO_SEVERE	Between <<<MODERATE>>> and <<<SEVERE>>>.	5	IR	[JMCDM, "AIRCRAFT-TURBULENCE-OBSERVATION intensity code":4]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	NO_TURBULENCE	No turbulence.	1	IR	[JMCDM, "ATMOSPHERIC-TURBULENCE-ANALYSIS-FORECAST turbulence intensity code":0]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	SEVERE	Turbulence that causes large, abrupt changes in <AIRCRAFT> altitude and/or attitude, usually with large variations in indicated airspeed and possibly with momentary loss of control; severe.	6	IR	[AIM, Table 7-1-7:Severe]
STD 2005/06/07	AIRCRAFT_TURBULENCE- _INTENSITY	SEVERE_TO_EXTREME	Between <<<SEVERE>>> and <<<EXTREME>>>.	7	IR	[JMCDM, "AIRCRAFT-TURBULENCE-OBSERVATION intensity code":6]

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

white - the entry is in the standard
yellow - the entry has been added to the register
pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
M - has Modifications
C - has Clarifications
