Interesting information for those who are afraid to fly.
Today, aircraft have become a common form of transport for people who appreciate comfort and own time. But even those who fly on planes are literally on a weekly basis, do not always know about the backstage secrets of air travel. But can tell every flight attendant.
1. “Technical delay”
Most of the “technical delays” are actually caused by passengers. The most common causes include sudden health problems, tardiness, etc.
2. “Miracle passengers”
“Miracle passengers” – those people who are during boarding call to Board the plane in a wheelchair (in order to obtain certain benefits), and then off the flight on arrival at their two. Flight attendants call them “miracle”, because these people, apparently “healed mid-flight”.
3. Body in the cargo hold
In the cargo compartments of airplanes sometimes carry corpses. They during shipping can leak and it’ll stain the bags. However, you should bear in mind that the fish loosely Packed in the Luggage is the more common problem.
4. The real danger of turbulence
In fact, it is impossible that the turbulence brought the plane down. The real danger in this case — things flying around the cabin.
5. Takeoff and landing
Commercial planes can fly with only one engine. That is why most accidents happen during takeoff and landing, not mid-flight.
6. Alcohol at altitude
When the plane gains altitude, the blood is diluted enough that the alcohol effect on a person stronger. Experts say that 100 grams of alcohol in the air are about the same as 200 grams on Earth.
7. Six days in a row
The airline staff can work 6 days in a row with virtually no rest. This also applies to pilots.
8. Remuneration of flight attendants
Flight attendants are paid only for the time from closing the entrance hatch of the plane and before you open it. Therefore, passengers are seated they are “free”.
9. A fire in the engine
If the engine catches on fire, it can extinguish directly in the middle of the flight. If this fails, the burning engine is reset so as not to damage the wing.
10. All used planes with breakdowns
All used airplanes always fly with some damage. Of course, these breakdowns are not so critical to be a danger to the flight, but they are.
11. “Fragile”
Bags marked with the marking “fragile”, almost always hang when loading exactly the same as the rest of the Luggage.
12. Cleaning on “short flights”
During the short flight, the plane often flies back in less than an hour. Needless to say that cleaning the inside is very superficial.
13. The use of oxygen masks
If the cabin began to fall pressure, oxygen masks drop from a delay of a few seconds. Mask is immediately, without delay.
14. Shower at the airport
If you have a long flight with multiple stopovers, you should take a shower at the airport, it will literally do wonders in terms of relieving fatigue. And if not, you should at least change.
15. Safety at height
Flying today is the safest way to travel. For example, in the United States die each year more than 30,000 people in road accidents. This is almost 100 people every day. Thus, during a plane crash killed at least one person a day.
