What should aircrew do if they encounter severe weather during flight?

When aircrew encounter severe weather during flight, the most important action is to adjust the flight path as necessary, prioritizing passenger safety. Severe weather poses significant risks, including turbulence, reduced visibility, and potential hazards such as lightning or icing. By changing the flight path, the crew can navigate around dangerous weather conditions, ensuring that they maintain the safety and comfort of everyone on board.

Moreover, adjusting the flight path may involve communicating with air traffic control to obtain updated information about the weather and to receive guidance on the safest route. Safety is always the top priority, and making necessary adjustments ensures that aircrew can effectively manage risks associated with severe weather.
