Nowadays, most people prefer to travel long distances by flight. Because long distance travel by flight is completed in just a few hours. But do you know that when a flight flies in the air, it has to face many problems. Today we will tell you what problems a flight has to face in the sky.
Flight
Let us tell you that according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, more than 6000 flights fly in the sky every day in India. These include 3,061 departure flights and 3,058 arrival flights. This includes both national and international flights. Apart from this, in a country like America, 42,000 planes fly every day, out of which 5,000 planes are in the sky at any given time.
At what height are the planes?
Many times, people who travel by plane think that planes fly at a very high altitude in the sky. But let us tell you that planes usually fly at a height of 9 to 12 km from the earth. Now the question is why do they fly at such a height. According to a report, around 100,000 flights take off and land every day around the world, which include passenger, cargo and military planes. At the same time, passenger flights include more than 90,000 flights per day.
Plane flight
Flying in the sky itself is a challenging task for the pilot. Let us tell you that planes usually fly at an altitude of 31,000 (9.44 km) to 42,000 (12.80 km) feet. The main reason for flying at such a height is to maximize fuel efficiency. At the same time, pilots also fly at this height because air resistance is low and to avoid air traffic.
Flight Turbulence
The biggest danger in flight is turbulence. Turbulence or in-flight turbulence is a situation arising from sudden changes in pressure and speed in the flow of air, due to which the plane gets shocks in the air during flight and it starts shaking. Turbulence can cause mild jolts in the plane and sometimes very strong and long jolts.
Bad weather
The biggest problem faced by a pilot during flying is bad weather. Due to bad weather, the flight has to face many jolts during take-off. Not only this, many times flights are also cancelled due to bad weather.
