Taking on a typhoon/hurricane
Being relatively new to the type of weather long-haul flying out of the middle-east could get you in, what are your tactics when heading into a typhoon/hurricane area?
I get it you donīt shoot the approach when itīs sitting right on top of the airfield, but what about en-route? Do you treat it as any other storm system, tactically avoiding by use of the weather radar, or do you avoid the whole thing like the plague? Right now watching Flightradar24, looking at a CX 330 at 33.000 ft which looks to be doing a head on straight towards where typhoon "Rammaun" is heading as well.
We are no strangers to winds at cruise around 100-150 kts in the jet streams, but Iīd imagine itīs a whole other thing when they are circling around a massive low and CBs all around.
Any thoughts/experiences youīd like to share on the subject?
