Explanations on the influence of weather on air flights
Reportage. Airline pilots, before taking off, study weather maps. The captain is responsible for the safety of the aircraft and passengers and decides on the flight plan. The crew may alter the track laterally or vertically to avoid thunderstorms. The effects of turbulence are tested in the laboratory by manufacturers. Meteorologists are studying the equator area and would have seen an increase in cyclone intensity. The aircraft may have encountered exceptional weather conditions, but nothing was detected in the satellite photos. Commentary on illustration images (Airbus A330, cockpit, infographic, weather map, laboratory tests, office), interspersed with interviews with Antony POILLIOT and Eric DERIVRY, pilots, national union of airline pilots, by Emmanuel BOCRIE, forecaster engineer Météo France.
