Can the plane take off normally in moderate to heavy rain?

The plane can fly normally in moderate to heavy rain.

In terms of flight safety, it usually rains, even if it is moderate to heavy rain. If normal visibility is not affected, the plane can take off and land normally. But if it is a thunderstorm, the take-off and landing of the plane will be affected. Thunderstorm is a bad weather phenomenon caused by extremely unstable air. Ordinary precipitation generally affects airport visibility and cloud bottom height.

But in addition to these effects, thunderstorms are accompanied by severe weather phenomena such as thunder and lightning, strong winds and heavy precipitation, wind shear and strong bumps. Thunderstorm weather will make the plane bump strongly, which will easily damage the structure of the plane, and strong lightning may damage the plane.

An important factor affecting flight safety in thunderstorm weather is heavy precipitation. When an airplane flies under or near a thunderstorm cloud, or in a thunderstorm cloud, it may enter a heavy precipitation area. Heavy precipitation will reduce the performance of the aircraft, and will also affect the pilot's line of sight and observation and judgment. In addition, the runway surface is slippery due to precipitation, which is prone to accidents when landing.

The method of judging whether the plane can take off;

1. Generally, it can take off in light rain. If it rains just before takeoff, it doesn't rain much and there is no extreme weather, then the plane can still take off. When it rains, the visibility is still relatively high, but when it rains, we should observe the wind speed and direction. If there is no big impact, it is generally possible to take off.

2. The rainstorm can't take off. Thunderstorm is a common weather in summer, and it also happens during the day. Although the plane is above the thunderstorm cloud, it is in danger of being struck by lightning when passing through the thunderstorm cloud, even if it needs to bypass the thunderstorm cloud, it is also dangerous. In this weather, the plane can't take off. It can only take off after a thunderstorm.

3, comprehensive weather conditions, the aircraft should be based on the rain, wind speed, runway humidity and other comprehensive judgments. To decide whether it can take off. Generally speaking, these coefficients can still be kept in the normal take-off range in light rain and moderate rain, but in special circumstances, such as thunder and strong wind, even in light rain, we can't take off until these factors return to normal.
