The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice which is set to cover parts of Yorkshire this weekend
in the UK that are most affected by snow and ice. The weather forecast is a key factor when it comes to the pilot’s pre-flight checks and flight crew will regularly update their weather information throughout a flight.
Ice, snow and strong winds are not the only weather factors that affect flights, fog and crosswinds mean that air traffic controllers have to increase the gap between landing planes, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can manage. The same weather can make it slower and more challenging for the planes to taxi between the runway and terminal building.As with many commercial flights flying at more than five miles above the ground, they may also be affected by different weather.
The Met Office said: “Safety is always the first consideration for the aviation industry. An aircraft that’s stood overnight in freezing weather will need de-icing before its first flight in the morning.
