Flight Fly
Why can’t they fly planes on an alternate flight path around the volcanic ash cloud?
I know very little about flying, so I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the mechanics of flight paths and what not. I understand that it would take longer to use a different route, but why can’t they just fly around it?
I understand why planes can’t fly through the ash, but from the maps I’ve seen the airstream of ash goes from iceland over to the northern UK and Scandinavia. Why can’t flights going to Amsterdam or Paris from the US fly south of the ash?
Kind of hard to fly into the major airports of northern Europe like London, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen when most of the continent has ash in the atmosphere.
There is a substantial risk of engine failure when jet engines ingest ash, as it tends to coat the turbine fans in the hot combustion chamber. There’s also a risk of damage to windshields, control surfaces, and air sensors.
It’s better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground!
