7. No you don't......

My husband used to fly single airplanes and always filed an IFR Flight plan. Any amount of turbulence is enough to have your stomach in your throat. Flying in clouds with strong winds aloft will feel like someone taking the wing struts and lifting you up 20 feet then dropping you down like a ton of bricks. The feeling is terrifying no matter the type of aircraft one is in.

Unless extreme turbulence doesn't bother you.
