During the flight, the aircraft may encounter various emergencies, one of which is the need to release fuel in the air. So, when the plane breaks down and needs to make an emergency landing, the oil released will go to **?Is this safe?
First, let's understand what aerial oil release is. Aerial fuel discharge refers to the discharge of excess fuel into the air during the flight when the aircraft needs to make an emergency landing due to mechanical failure, excessive fuel or other reasons, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the weight of the aircraft.
So, what will the oil that comes out go to **?Normally, the oil that comes out will form an oil mist that will eventually dissipate into the air as the wind blows. In this process, the oil mist will not have much impact on the aircraft itself, because the aircraft usually discharges oil at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, and the air convection at this altitude is relatively strong, and the oil mist will be blown away quickly.
So, is it safe to do this?The answer is yes. First of all, when the aircraft is refueled in the air, it will choose the right time and altitude to try to avoid colliding with other flying objects when refueling. Secondly, when the aircraft releases fuel in the air, it will take into account factors such as wind direction and wind speed to avoid the impact of oil mist on the ground and the environment as much as possible.
However, it should be noted that if the oil is not properly drained or special circumstances are encountered, it may also have a certain impact on the aircraft and the ground. For example, if there is strong wind or turbulence during the discharge of oil, it may cause the oil mist to spread underneath or to the side of the aircraft, causing contamination of the aircraft and the ground. In addition, if the fuel is drained too much or too quickly, it can also cause the aircraft to lose control or cause other problems.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of mid-air oil discharge, pilots need to undergo rigorous training and assessment to ensure that they have sufficient skills and experience to deal with various emergencies. At the same time, airlines and relevant departments also need to strengthen the supervision and management of air oil discharge to ensure that the operation is standardized, reasonable and safe.

In conclusion, aircraft oil discharge in the air is an emergency treatment measure, although the released oil will diffuse with the wind direction and dissipate in the air, it also requires strict operation and management to ensure its safety and environmental protection.
