What is the take-off or landing of the airport at the edge of the thunderstorm area?

Aircraft take off or land at the edge of the airport under strong convective weather conditions such as thunderstorms and cumulonimbus clouds.

Low-altitude wind shear refers to the phenomenon that the wind speed and/or direction change sharply in a short time. Thunderstorm weather conditions are closely related to wind shear. During take-off or landing, the aircraft encounters obvious low-altitude wind shear, which changes the landing trajectory, affects the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft, and even affects the accuracy of some instruments. This brings difficulties to the operation of aircraft and sometimes leads to accidents. In the airport on the edge of thunderstorm area, pilots and aviation operators need to pay special attention to and be alert to the existence of low-altitude wind shear, and take corresponding flight operations and measures to ensure the safe take-off and landing of aircraft. Flight safety is an important concern of the aviation industry, and all parties will work together to ensure the safe operation of aircraft in complex weather conditions.
