CONSIDERATIONS ON SEVERE METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA FOR AIRCRAFT FLIGHTS IN ROMANIA

Weather conditions and events have a significant impact on the flight of civil or military manned or unmanned aircraft (UAV/UAS). Adverse and/or dangerous weather conditions force flights to be delayed, diverted, canceled or may cause events with undesirable consequences due to their influence on both aircraft and pilots through biometeorological implications. This paper presents meteorological phenomena hazardous to aircraft flight and the human factor from the perspective of methods and instruments used to detect atmospheric and environmental phenomena.
