Can the plane take off in the rain?

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

It depends on the type of rain. If the rainfall intensity is small and does not affect the engine performance and visual conditions, the plane can take off. However, if the runway visual range does not reach the minimum due to precipitation, the water in the runway area exceeds 3mm, and there are important weather phenomena that directly affect the airport environment, such as strong low-altitude wind shear, thunderstorm, downburst or cumulonimbus clouds, the plane cannot take off.

Extended data:

When the plane can't take off in rainy days;

First, if the rainfall intensity is small, it will not affect the engine performance and visual conditions.

Second, if precipitation causes:

1, runway visual range can't reach the minimum value.

2, the runway area of water more than 3 mm. ..

3. There is strong low-level wind shear.

4. Important weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, downbursts or cumulonimbus clouds will directly affect the airport environment.
