A flight of China Eastern Airlines Beijing-Shanghai Line flew back and forth four times due to thunderstorm weather. What are the effects of bad weather on flights?

Weather is the most important factor in flight and one of the main reasons for flight delay. Bad weather has a great impact on flights, and there are likely to be safety hazards. We shouldn't complain when we encounter flight delays.

For traffic, the foggy weather is extremely bad and it is not suitable for flying. We know that at present, the flight of aircraft mainly depends on radar, not the sight of the pilot, and the aircraft also has fixed routes. But even so, foggy weather is still not suitable for sailing. When there is fog in the air, the visibility becomes very low and it is easy to collide with other things in the air. There was a tragic collision between a passenger plane and a jet plane, which led to a serious air crash.

Strong winds and heavy rains are not suitable for flying. When clouds are brewing a rainstorm, they are often accompanied by low clouds, and strong winds will cause bumps. This weather is extremely unfavorable for aircraft navigation. If there is lightning in the air, it is likely to hit the plane, causing damage to the plane and affecting the positioning in flight. When there is strong wind and heavy rain, the visibility in the air will also decrease, which may affect the take-off and landing of aircraft. If the plane is not sailing on the right route or runway, it is easy to have an accident.

Ice and snow are worse weather. If it snows that day, planes are generally not allowed to fly. When it snows, the visibility in the air is very low, but this is not the most important influence of snowfall on flight. On snowy days, the temperature is very low, and snow will freeze the ground. When the runway is frozen, if the plane takes off on the ground, it is likely to slip and cause an accident. This kind of thing is not without cases, so we should be vigilant, reduce the number of trips in bad weather, and choose safe transportation if we really have to.
