Is the cancellation of the Capital Airport 142 flight affected by this thunderstorm?

Yes, thunderstorms are dangerous for airplane flight. If the plane takes off, lands and flies in lightning, the accumulated lightning in the air will damage the fuselage and equipment. In severe cases, it will lead to the disintegration of the aircraft and cause major safety accidents. Compared with lightning, the impact of rainfall on the airport is relatively small. Heavy rainfall easily leads to low visibility, especially in downdraft. Most of the heavy rainfall is accompanied by lightning.

1. Flight cancellation at Capital Airport:

The thunderstorm at the Capital Airport has dispersed, and it is predicted that there will be intermittent thunderstorms at 17:00-23:00. The Capital Airport plans to fly flight 86 1 all day, and flight 393 before 15: 00 will be cancelled. 1 1 In the evening, the Capital Airport and airlines made pre-adjustment and reduction of 12 flight in advance. Today 13: 30, the Capital Airport Operation Management Committee launched the first-level response mechanism of coordinated operation, and cooperated with air traffic controllers, airlines and major airport support units to ensure smooth flight operation. At present, taxis, airport express trains and airport buses operate normally and smoothly.

2. Plan early:

Planning in advance means that passengers should pay more attention to the weather forecast of departure and destination airports in the next few days before preparing to travel, so as to understand the weather and avoid thunderstorms. More attention should be paid to flight dynamics when determining the voyage. Taking off early means that passengers should give full consideration to traffic jams and poor information that are easy to encounter in thunderstorm weather to avoid flight delays caused by the above reasons.

3. The harm of thunderstorm to flight;

Thunderstorm weather is one of the dangerous weather that directly endangers flight safety. If the plane takes off, lands and flies in thunderstorm weather, the accumulated lightning in the air will damage the fuselage and equipment, and in serious cases, it will lead to the disintegration of the plane and cause major safety accidents. The downburst and wind shear near the thunderstorm area will directly lead to the uncontrolled take-off and landing of aircraft. In case of thunderstorm, the air traffic control department will control the take-off and landing of flights from a safety perspective and cancel flights. Thunderstorms are in the clouds. Sometimes it doesn't rain, and there will be thunderstorms in the clouds.

Finally, although the weather in Beijing airport is very good. However, in the process of flying to the destination, thunderstorms will occur in some areas, which will have a great impact on the flight and cause flight delays.
