Volcanic ash - Ash and aviation
Volcanic ash jams machinery. This poses a great danger to aircraft flying near ash clouds. There are many instances of damage to jet aircraft as a result of an ash encounter. Engines may quit, and fuel and water systems may become fouled, requiring repair. After the Galunggung, Indonesia volcanic event in 1982, a British Airways Boeing 747 flew through an ash cloud that fouled all 4 engines, stopping them. The plane descended from 36,000 feet to only 12,000 feet before the crew could manage to restart the engines.
Increasing numbers of events like that prompted the aviation industry to meet in 1991 to decide how to best distribute information about ash events. One solution was the creation of Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers. There is one VAAC for each of 9 regions of the world. VAACs can issue advisories and serve as liaisons between meterologists, volcanologists, and the aviation industry.
