EASY Question #61:

What types of precipitation might be really dangerous for flight? Which kinds of precipitation can pose serious hazards to flying? Which forms of precipitation should pilots be most cautious of?

Answer:

From my point of view, hail, freezing fog, freezing rain, or a snowstorm might be very dangerous for flight because, for example: · hail can damage the aircraft fuselage and aircraft engines; · freezing fog or freezing rain can lead to aircraft icing and low visibility; · heavy snow can cause poor runway conditions.
