For this discussion I decided to talk about the weather hazard that I thought would pose the greatest threat to aviation, which being thunderstorms. It is impossible for small planes to fly over thunderstorms as they do not have the ability to fly that Hight and flying under can cause major damage or scary flight situations. So, the best way to stay safe in a thunderstorm situation is to fly around it. Thunderstorms in their most mature part of their stages, will consist of violent winds.
