When a pilot has to fly through thick clouds, many instruments come into play. These instruments help the pilot navigate the clouds and are known as GPS and Distance Measuring Equipment which prevents collisions in mid air during these weather conditions.

How do planes fly through thick clouds?

Thick clouds are really just a light mist, flying through them is similar to driving through thick fog, it doesn't affect the performance of the aircraft in the least. It does however affect the pilots ability to see, and most aircraft are equipped with instrumentation which allows the pilot to maintain control and positional awareness even with all windows blotted out. Aircraft which are not so equipped are forbidden from flying into clouds. Aircraft flying into and through clouds can only do so under more restrictive rules requiring constant contact with air-traffic-control.

No. The surface of Venus is obscured by thick clouds. If you could fly above the clouds then you would see the same stars that you see from Earth.

What is the difference between a corporate and commercial and an airline pilot?

Commercial pilots are any pilots that fly for to earn money, as opposed to military pilots or pilots that fly for the fun of it. Commercial pilots would include both Corporate pilots and Airline pilots. Corporate pilots fly for a specific company, flying the companies airplanes. As an example GM, Ford and other big companies have their own planes to fly groups around the country or the world. It is often more cost effective then buying commercial airline tickets. Airline pilots fly for airlines and are usually required to be members of a union. Another type of commercial pilot are those that fly for Cargo companies, such as FedEx or UPS.


Why are pilots careful to not go near dark clouds?

Normally, a dark cloud has strong wind currents and possibly some dangerous phenomenons such as lightning or some objects such as hailstones. A plane can get tossed around in these clouds and also get struck by lightning. Although most planes are made for these situations, pilots are advised not to fly air crafts near dangerous clouds due to the fact that air crafts are not completely safe for these conditions.
