Can the plane take off in light rain?

1. If a person rains, it won't stop flying. If you encounter too strong wind, too heavy rain, or even lightning weather, it will be dangerous.

2. Many flights can't take off normally because of high-altitude cumulonimbus clouds or strong convective weather in the air.

3. It is often not the amount of water that affects the take-off and landing of aircraft, but the clouds and winds in the sky. The aircraft controls the aircraft by obtaining aerodynamic forces in air movement, such as lift, stress and steering force. Unstable strong airflow and unstable wind will have a great impact on flight safety, so if the crosswind is too large, the wind direction is unstable or there is turbulence, etc., it is impossible to take off and land.

According to the statistics of flight accidents of ICAO, 89.3% of the flight accidents related to low-level wind shear are affected by thunderstorm weather.

When the plane takes off and lands, it is easy to produce strong downward flow under heavy rain. Heavy rain and rainstorm will shut down the engine, worsen the aerodynamics of the aircraft and affect the use of the runway.

However, under normal circumstances, rain will not affect the take-off of aircraft, unless it encounters strong convective weather and unpredictable wind shear, which will affect the flight trajectory and attitude and affect flight safety.

After a real cruise, there is generally no problem. Even if it's cloudy on land, or it rains heavily, it's clear in the sky, clouds and Wan Li.

In foggy weather, if the pilot can't see the ground facilities of the airport at an altitude of 600 meters, he is not allowed to land in principle.
