So what's "winter" about? 🤔🛩
1.Cold weather = dense air
The plane will float better or lift easier.
So pilots don't have to fly very high to save fuel as in summer.
2. Dodge high-altitude winds or Jet Stream
When "winter," the jet stream will be stronger, especially in the Asian zone. If you fly too high, you can experience strong winds blowing the park, which will slow down and waste more fuel, so the pilot chooses to fly lower to avoid the strong wind zone.
3. Avoid the formation of ice.
During the "cold season," there are temperatures that are suitable for ice, so in some atmospheres, pilots may reduce their flight level to dodge the "icing layer" by making it safe and without melting more than necessary.
4. Cold weather fog conditions near the ground
Pilots have to gradually lower down more slowly to make the landing more visible and the landing system work more accurately.
