I watched a video earlier in which a passenger plane flew into a sandstorm without taking any measures, unfortunately the video didn't last long. Is it possible for an airplane to survive a sandstorm without any problems and what do the laws say for pilots in such cases?

Loading...There are these propellers you can strap to your back. I also know about paragliders and balloons. If I've left something out and you don't need a license for it, feel free to add it.
Hello, I'm flying to Barcelona tomorrow at short notice and would like to take a whole cake with me. I wanted to know if that's possible? Is it allowed? I'm flying with Lufthansa.
Hello everyone, I booked my flight ticket online (Lufthansa) about a month ago. Today I wanted to open and print the two PDF files (apparently my tickets for the outbound and return flights) that were sent to my email, but I can't open them (I've tried using various PDF programs). What surprises me, however, is…
I am flying to Miami, America next April and have never flown in my life and I wanted to ask if someone can explain to me how it all works and what I need I'm a little afraid that I won't be able to do it because, as I said, I've never flown before
My suitcase has a girth of 157.5 cm. Most airlines allow a maximum size of 158 cm, so it makes sense that my suitcase is that big, since that's basically the maximum size a suitcase should be to avoid any problems at check-in. But how exactly do they measure it? Do they measure it by…
I do not know the legislation in such cases, but think that this is likely to be very difficult, since the turbines do not run well in such storms, and also the wind should be too strong.
The likelihood that a plane gets into a sandstorm is also unlikely as they usually fly higher.
Should an airport flying from an aircraft be in the middle of such a storm, I might think that the pilots have to fly the order to another airport outside the danger zone.
Sandstorms would not survive an aeroplane without any damage, as the first is the fact that an aeroplane flies with hundreds of Km/h, as a result, the front is sandblasted, as well as the sand passes into the engines, melts there and settles, which can affect the flow and combustion. In addition, the sand could influence the radio traffic and block important components such as Pitot probes.
Since the sand swirled through the storm does not reach too high altitudes, sandstorms are only a problem when starting and landing. In the travel flight there is an airplane far above the swirled sand.
If there is a sandstorm at the destination airport, then an aging will be started or the planned start will be postponed. If a crew flies into a sandstorm against better knowledge and contrary to the recommendation of the air oversight, then very quickly high costs come to the airline, because the paint is likely to have suffered severely, especially at the front edges of the wing. Furthermore, antennas and the windshield are to be replaced. The pilot responsible is likely to have to look for a new employer!
