Why do you think that the pilots should stay away from the thunderheads or cumulus and nimbus clouds?
Violent updrafts and turbulence that can place stresses on the airframe outside of design limits. I took glider pilot classes years ago and they told us NEVER to enter such a cloud for precisely these reasons, plus the fact that most glider pilots don't carry oxygen. The updrafts in a building cumulus cloud can pull a glider all the way to the top of the cloud, leaving the plane at an altitude where the air has insufficient oxygen to keep the pilot conscious. This not a problem for a pressurized commercial airliner, but the airframe stress is still an issue.

What are the cloud layers in order?
Clouds are classified into 4 main layers, with one layer which occurs extremely high up. They can be divided into the four 'families'. High clouds, which are Family A Middle clouds, which are Family B Low clouds, which are Family C Vertical clouds, which are Family D High clouds, which include ones such as Cirrocumulus and Cirrus clouds, occur at heights of around 30,000 feet. They generally have a very wispy appearance, generally due to the fact that a large portion of them are ice crystals. This is because the temperature at these altitudes can be well below freezing point. Middle clouds, such as the Altostratus cloud, are found at about 15,000 feet. The Altostratus cloud is generally grey or dark, like a rain cloud. However they are not so dark that you cannot see the sun through them! Low clouds include Cumulus, Stratocumulus and Cumulonimbus clouds. They are found around 6,500 feet, and are characterised by their much more defined 'cloud like' features. Cumulus clouds are the stereotypical cloud, quite heavy with a whispy edges. Cumulonimbus clouds however are storm clouds, and are very tall and dense. The heigh can reach well over 50,000 feet! The other cloud group appears in the mesosphere and the stratosphere, which is just below the mesosphere. They are typically made completely from ice due to the high altitudes.
