Are Planes taking off in Thunderstorms normal?

Jim, it's about time that someone told you that Mxsmanic seems
to understand a hell-of-a-lot more about what really happens in
jet transport aircraft than you do. You are just looking the fool
in your attempts to rebut his posts.

You need to understand a few things.

One, I do not claim to be an authority on transport aviation, unlike MX.

Two, I do not try to rebut his posts, because it is an exercise in futility.
I was only letting a newbie know who was giving him an answer, that the
answer is most likely incorrect, and that the writer does not know any more
than what he has learned playing a game.

I find his questions very well thought-out and his answers to
other's questions well researched.

I can't find a single thing in that line that isaccurate or correct. Well
researched? What planet are you living on, presently? He lets others do
his research, instead of doing the first little bit himself, then criticises
the answer given, when he gets the right answer.

BTW, ATC will gladly release an aircraft into any weather that
the pilot wishes provided that the airport has not been closed.

But they will inform (or flight service will inform) the pilot of the
current weather conditions along the intended route.

Since you have so much faith in MX's knowledge, I'll let you have the honor
of riding with him on his first flight after getting his PPL. It sure will
not be me.

I hope you know that your credibility just dropped (with your support of
this individual) with a lot of people, I'm sure. It does not show very good
judgment, at the very least.

to experience all three at the same time.

I'm surprised that landings would be more esteemed than take-offs.

That's because you're an idiot.


and "esteemed"?

Apparently he thinks it is harder to take off than land on a carrier.

No, he doesn't. Read more carefully.


Yes, he doesn't think at all. He just spews.

Hmm ... do you have someone specific in mind?


You're an idiot.

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..

That's not the way it works.

No, you seem to have other problems. You wrote that Mx "has
clinically classifiable psychoses (several, probably)".... thus
claiming to be an expert in psychology.

A noble cause, except in this case Mx wrote: "Aircraft normally wait

thunderstorm. " What part of that was "most likely incorrect" and
called for your dire warning? If you're going to bash him, at least
BE CORRECT.

With 17 years as a 707 pilot, amongst other credits,it does not show
good judgement on your part to try to cast doubts on his credibility,
which has always been good.

First of all the statement is not completley correct.

Second, MX has a well proven track record of being " most likely incorrect".

It had waited an hour because of the rain, and so one would think
that the severe part of the thunderstorm had moved out of the flight
path.

So under those qualifications, yes, they take off and land with
thunderstorms in the area, all of the time.

Take a look at this page, and scroll down to the file called "FedEx
Diversions" to see how planes will zoom in close to and around
thunderstorms.

I had this idea that that is why all heavies have doppler radar to
avoid the CU's

No, they don't. Some heavies have it, but not all by any stretch.

Which part of the statement is incorrect, and why is the incorrect portion (if
any) important if the correct portion is not?
