Can a foggy plane take off?

Planes can't take off in foggy weather.

The fog will definitely affect the pilot's line of sight, thus affecting the normal take-off of the plane. In severe cases, accidents may occur, such as the plane deviating from the track. Secondly, the sight of the aircraft commander will also be affected, leading to command errors. If there is a command error during the flight, the consequences will be very serious.

Usually when there is heavy fog, the plane can't take off. Because the visibility of fog is generally less than 500 meters, and the take-off requirements of aircraft should reach at least 600 meters, which is obviously not up to standard. This will not only affect the take-off of the plane, but also affect the landing of the plane. The visibility required for landing is higher than that required for take-off.

So the plane will definitely be late when there is fog. As for how long it will be delayed, it depends on how long the fog will last. If the fog is always thick and the visibility of take-off cannot be achieved, then the plane cannot take off normally.

Aircraft flight standards;

Aircraft flight standards refer to many restrictions on meteorological conditions in order to ensure safe and normal flight. For example, aircraft usually take off or land against the wind, but it is not that the headwind cannot be greater than the specified maximum; If the headwind exceeds the limit, the aircraft will be unbearable, resulting in damage to safety and maneuverability.

Taking off or landing in a crosswind that is greater than the specified limit is not only difficult to control the aircraft, but also makes it deviate from the runway, and sometimes even causes the aircraft to roll over and the wing tip to land. The plane can't take off when the temperature is higher than the specified maximum temperature, otherwise it will run off the runway before leaving the ground because of the reduced engine thrust.

When landing in high temperature, the air resistance decreases, and the plane slows down slowly, which makes the taxiing distance extend and even exceed the runway. Because different types of aircraft bear different degrees of bad weather phenomena, the prescribed boundaries are also different. When the actual weather intensity is greater than this limit, it is not suitable for flying.
