What should I do if the plane encounters a rainstorm midway?

The plane can rise above the cumulonimbus cloud.

For example, if a fighter encounters heavy rain during flight, it can completely raise the altitude and let the fuselage reach above the cumulonimbus cloud. Because the fighter has good performance, this altitude is not a problem at all, so it is not afraid of heavy rain. Secondly, the imaging system of fighter is very advanced. Even if the line of sight is not good, radar or detection imaging can be used to temporarily replace naked eye observation.

Moreover, in fact, the glass is also specially made, with a hydrophobic coating on it. Even if the rain hits it, it will gather into a stream to stay, and it will not be stained with water drops like ordinary glass. This coating also has an effect on dust, and even the work of cleaning dust is easy. There is another technology, using ultrasonic wave to remove rain and dust, which has better effect, but it is not used much.

Influence of rainstorm on flights

Rainy days have an impact on the take-off and landing of aircraft. If the plane encounters an emergency rainstorm during take-off, it should wait until the rainstorm gradually stops before taking off. Because there will be strong cold airflow fluctuations in the air during heavy rain, these cold airflow will directly cause the engine of the aircraft to stall, and heavy rainfall will also make the runway of the aircraft full of rain and affect the take-off of the aircraft.

There is also rain fog caused by emergency rainstorm, which will also reduce the visibility of pilots. This situation is very dangerous. The same bad weather, such as fog, tornado and hail, is also a risk factor that will affect the take-off and landing of aircraft, so civil aviation companies will detect the weather conditions of flight distance in advance.
