Can the plane take off in thunderstorm weather?

Planes can't take off in thunderstorm weather.

As long as there is thunderstorm weather on the plane route, the plane can't take off. Of course, if there are only thunderstorms on the route, you can actually apply for a change of route (but ordinary airlines don't do this), but if there are thunderstorms at both the destination and the departure point, it is absolutely impossible to take off because of the great risks.

Although the height of the plane's takeoff is higher than that of the thunderstorm cloud, it is very dangerous to forcibly take off through the thunderstorm layer when it thunders, and there will be the risk of being struck by lightning. Moreover, when it thunders and rains, the weather reacts violently, the wind direction and speed are unstable, and it is very difficult to take off. Moreover, when it rains, the airport runway will be slippery, which is not conducive to the plane taking off on the runway.

Under what circumstances can't the plane take off?

1, bad weather: good weather conditions are needed for aircraft to take off and fly. If the weather is bad, such as storm, heavy snow and thunder and lightning, the plane can't take off. In addition, if the weather conditions are not conducive to flight, such as low clouds and insufficient visibility, the plane cannot take off.

2. Mechanical failure: Mechanical failure of aircraft, such as engine failure, tire rupture, hydraulic system failure, etc. , will affect the normal take-off and flight of the plane. If the plane is found to have serious mechanical failure, the pilot will decide not to take off to avoid potential danger.

3. Airport closure or restriction: Airport closure or restriction will also affect the take-off of aircraft. For example, airport closures or restrictions may be due to bad weather, security reasons or other restrictions. If the airport is closed or restricted, the plane cannot take off.
