Aircraft flying at altitudes above 9,146 meters (3,000 feet) do not normally encounter thunderstorms.
The thunderstorm area is generally distributed in the cumulonimbus cloud area below several thousand meters. When approaching the thunderstorm area, turbulence will occur. If the aircraft enters the thunderstorm area, the pilot should steer the aircraft out of the thunderstorm area as soon as possible and make a detour.
Thunderstorms are no place for airplanes to stay.
In order to prevent the aircraft from being struck by lightning, the aircraft is equipped with lightning protection device, which is generally located in the wing tip, also called “discharge brush”.
When a plane is struck by lightning, electricity can be released from the “discharge brush”, which acts as a lightning rod.
So even though the thunder is rolling and the electricity is flashing out the porthole.
But the plane was fine.
Passengers can rest assured.
In particular, modern medium-sized aircraft are generally equipped with weather, coupled with the ground weather forecast and the pilot’s correct control, it is easy to bypass the thunderstorm area and quickly out of the thunderstorm area.
