Can the plane see a typhoon in flight?

The plane can't see the typhoon in the smooth flight stage.

Planes fly in the stratosphere and typhoons form in the troposphere.

However, in the low-altitude flight or take-off and landing phase, the aircraft will be affected by the typhoon.

The impact of typhoon on aircraft is as follows:

1, bumpy. Typhoon mainly flows into the low-pressure airflow in the lower level, which can generate strong wind speed in the inner region and is the outflow airflow of the high-level anticyclone. Strong upward movement connects the upper and lower circulation, which is the main feature of typhoon circulation. The ascending and descending airflow will make the plane violently bumpy, which will seriously affect flight safety.

2. Ice cubes. There are a lot of supercooled water droplets in mature thunderstorm clouds. When the plane passes through the clouds, small water droplets hit the surface of the plane and easily freeze. Pilots must attach great importance to it at this time, and observe and use the deicing and anti-icing system in time.

3. Lightning strike. Lightning strike is the most feared problem for pilots. If the electric field is very strong when the plane passes through a thunderstorm area, it is easy to be struck by lightning because of the protruding parts such as wings and fuselage. This is also an important reason for the plane delay during the thunderstorm.

4. Long live. Typhoons sometimes produce hail weather. The plane is flying because it is too fast. The surface of the plane is easily hit by hail.

5. Low visibility. Heavy precipitation and fog will lead to low visibility, which will cause great obstacles to the take-off and landing of aircraft.

6. Wind shear. Wind shear is an atmospheric phenomenon, which is a sudden change of wind speed in horizontal and vertical directions. Wind shear is the enemy of flying accidents. It is recognized by the international aviation community that low-level wind shear is an important risk factor in the take-off and landing phases of aircraft, and it is called the "stealth killer".

Preventive measures in Taiwan Province

resident

Listen, watch or visit typhoon warning information in time to understand the government's countermeasures against Taiwan.

Close the doors and windows and fix the structures that are easy to be blown by the wind.

Move from a dilapidated house to a safe place.

People in low-lying areas that may be flooded should be transferred in time.

Check whether the circuit, fire fighting, gas and other facilities are safe.

Kindergartens and primary and secondary schools should take temporary avoidance measures and suspend classes when necessary.

Open-air collective activities or indoor large-scale gatherings should be cancelled in time, and personnel should be evacuated.

Before the typhoon comes, the ship should obey the command and go to shelter immediately.

In case you can't escape or encounter a typhoon, you should contact the relevant departments on the shore for rescue in time.

When waiting for rescue, you should take the initiative to take emergency measures, and quickly and decisively take measures to leave the typhoon, such as stopping (stagnation), bypassing (winding) and crossing (speed crossing).

The calm wind and waves shortly after the strong typhoon may be the calm when the typhoon eye passes by. At this time, the berth owner must not go back to reinforce the ship in order to protect his property.

If conditions permit, the ship is equipped with modern equipment such as beacons, radio communicators and satellite phones.

In the absence of radio communication equipment, when a passing ship or plane is found, or when approaching land, objects can be used to send out easy-to-detect distress signals in time, such as piling up the word "SOS", setting off fireworks, sending out light signals and sound signals, shaking brightly colored objects, etc.
