Volcanic ash poses a significant threat to aviation, causing damage to aircraft engines and airframes. The text discusses the role of Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers (VAACs) in monitoring ash clouds and advising on safe airspace navigation. It also covers the establishment of safe ash concentration levels for flights, the implementation of Time Limited Zones (TLZs), and the impact of sulfur dioxide on aviation. Case studies of past aircraft encounters with volcanic ash highlight the importance of safety protocols.
