Are Planes taking off in Thunderstorms normal?
On 5 May, 22:10, Mxsmanic wrote:
Aircraft normally wait for thunderstorms to pass before taking off. No aircraft is safe in a thunderstorm. My last experience was that ATC prioritised landing of aircraft but prevented take-offs until it had cleared. So there was a large backlog. It was emphasised to pax when the pilots (not ATC) were still not happy to take off as the weather had not completley cleared... what a bunch of wimps.. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
