Ever wondered why flights are cancelled during bad weather? You might have experienced it yourself - arriving at the airport only to find out that your flight has been cancelled due to bad weather. It's natural to feel frustrated, but have you ever wondered why flights are cancelled during storms? Let's find out.
Airplanes can't fly in heavy rain and storms because it poses a risk to the safety of the aircraft and passengers. There are several reasons for this:
1. Strong winds during storms can make it difficult to control the plane. 2. Heavy rain and fog can reduce visibility, making it hard for pilots to navigate. 3. If lightning strikes the plane during a storm, it can cause significant damage or even destroy the aircraft. 4. Engines don't perform well in heavy rain, reducing their power and efficiency.
To minimize these risks, pilots and airlines take several precautions:
1. Delaying or cancelling flights based on weather conditions. 2. Changing the flight route to avoid bad weather. 3. Using weather radar and forecasts to plan routes. 4. Reducing speed and altitude to minimize risk.
By taking these precautions, airlines can ensure the safety of their passengers and aircraft. So the next time your flight is cancelled due to bad weather, remember that it's for your own safety.
