What about the turbulence of the air flow? For people who often fly, how to deal with the strong convection weather in nature? China Eastern Airlines flight mu774, from Paris, France to Kunming, China, encountered turbulence in the early morning of the 18th, and 26 passengers were injured after preliminary verification. At present, the flight has landed in Kunming safely, and the wounded have been sent to the first people's Hospital of Yunnan Province and Yan'an Hospital of Kunming City for treatment, all of which are not life-threatening.
What is the effect of severe convective weather on airplanes?
Severe convective weather mostly occurs in the cloud system formed by cumulonimbus clouds, with a large or small rainfall range. Sometimes, it rains at sunrise in the East and in the west, sometimes from Hedong to Hexi. When strong convective weather (thunderstorm) appears, it is often accompanied by thunderstorm, gale, tornado, hail and other disastrous weather. It will cause a lot of difficulties to the flight, and even cause the aircraft to lose control, damage, horsepower reduction and other dangerous conditions.
Countermeasures:
1. The aircraft will bump when encountering the air flow, and will rise or dive rapidly when it is serious. Therefore, it is necessary to buckle up the safety belt to prevent the body from moving at will, resulting in impact injury.
2. After the safety belt is fastened, try to keep calm and do not panic. It is common to encounter airflow when flying. Try to hear the instructions in the loudspeaker.
3. In case of pressure loss of the aircraft, wear the oxygen mask falling from the top of the head as soon as possible. Note: if you want to put a mask on your child, make sure you take it first. Instead, it is safer and more secure for children.
