With the haze affecting Singapore and Changi's runway visibility at 750/800m, you may be wondering how it would be like if there was a Volcanic eruption and ash was falling down.

 
[Check out Changi (WSSS) METAR for current weather observations  http://www.wunderground.com/Aviation/?query=WSSS#METAR ]
 


However, reduced runway visibility is not the biggest risk during a volcanic eruption. Rather, the biggest risk is that the volcanic ash may affect the aircraft engines. The abrasive particles can even scour the windscreen, making it impossible for the pilot to look out the window.

Found this old, but cool video about the subject.

Thanks AMS Aviator Stan Tham, for the idea!
