RE: Thunder and Lightning: Why Standing Beside a Taller Object Won't Keep You Safe

in #stemng7 years ago

Heights and lightning are no where good friends. Lighting is a scare, especially to pilots. We refer to it as thunderstorm. Could affect your instrument so badly that could lead to an accident/incident. Awesome post @greenrun.

Sort:  

I heard most commercial airlines are lightning proof, dunno about the light private aeroplanes. Are they covered too?

Most aircraft are. But is not a guarantee safety when they fly into a thunderstorm.

Thought as much. Thanks.
