Can a rainy plane land? Can a rainy plane land?

1, it depends on the rain first. If it rains lightly, it won't have any substantial impact on the plane. Generally speaking, if it is small to moderate rain and there is no obvious thunderstorm, the plane can also take off and land in the rain. Unless it rains heavily, it will not pose an obvious threat to the landing of modern civil airliners.

2. In general, except for strong convective weather and unpredictable wind shear, rainfall will not affect flight trajectory and flight attitude.

3. Generally, light rain can fly without affecting the normal visibility, except thunderstorm weather, because when flying in thunderstorm weather, the plane will have strong bumps, which will easily damage the structure of the plane, and strong lightning will also damage the plane.

Therefore, thunderstorm is a serious threat to flight safety. It is likely that there will be bumps when thunderstorms fly over on the route. At this time, please sit down and fasten your seat belt. In order to ensure flight safety, flights are usually cancelled in thunderstorm weather.
