Does moderate rain affect the take-off of the plane?

Moderate rain will affect the take-off of the plane.

In rainy weather, there will be clouds in the air, which will minimize the visibility of the plane, so it will greatly affect the flight safety of the plane, and in this weather, the plane will delay its flight.

Weather factors affecting aircraft takeoff;

1, lightning

Lightning will damage aircraft components and seriously interfere with aircraft radio communication.

2. Wind speed

Strong crosswind and wind shear. Wind shear is a sudden change of wind direction in a short distance. For example, when the plane lands, the wind blows vertically upwards, and the pilot manipulates the plane to land under the bow. Suddenly the wind direction changed to 180 degrees, and it turned into a vertical downward blowing. The pilot had no time to change the attitude of the plane, and the plane had landed again, causing an accident.

3. Visibility

Sometimes the rain is not very heavy, but it is very dense, and the plane can only take off and land if the runway sight distance reaches the standard. Generally, when there is a thunderstorm over the airport, it will be accompanied by heavy precipitation, poor visibility, sharp change of wind direction and gust. The airport has a special weather forecast, and the plane can't take off and land if it doesn't meet the standard.
