Experienced pilot Bashny.Net

A few days ago, the current pilot west, and before that the Russian airline and destroyed popular myths among the people about airplanes and proved to us that the plane is the safest vehicles in the world. In this post he answered interesting questions about aviation.





Question: "What about the lightning, if it falls on a plane?»

Answer: Indeed, such cases happen, but rather redko.Dazhe if lightning hit the aircraft - it straighten stekateli static electricity - these harnesses on the wings and tail. In the interior of course lightning does not pass. After a lightning strike on the plane on the ground to inspect for the presence of minor mechanical damage.



Question: "As often happens piloting intoxicated?»

Answer: Do not worry! Before each flight crew undergo a medical examination. If the doctor zakradutsya suspicions, he may not prevent a member of the crew to fly. All that you can see or hear in the media -erunda "hacks»



Question: & quot; And what would happen if the turbine aircraft hit a bird?

A: Situations such cases, most often at the stage of development and aviation. For aircraft bird enemy number 1, as the birds hit the engine of the aircraft will inevitably lead to failure of the engine, and maybe fire. But here, too, do not worry, smart people solved this problem! How? At each aerodrome necessarily worth special equipment to scare away birds. What? Yes, very different: a bogey, kites, gas gun, but mostly airfields used ultrasonic repeller. At major airports is doing a special service. You can watch both the takeoff / landing aircraft manufactures and turns on the headlights. Why? And that's just to scare away the birds, as if it was not corny.



Question: "Please write on how to use electrical appliances in an aircraft»

Answer: Use on board any electronic equipment can not prohibited to carry on board. Another thing that you can not use them during takeoff and landing. How Come? Because in case of an emergency at these stages, any loose and untidy subject to a luggage rack, automatically becomes a threat to passengers. Also forced off all electronic equipment, supposedly they interfere with aircraft navigation equipment. Of course this is not true, but! by the rules of safety, you must turn off the devices during takeoff and landing. It's just a precaution.



Question: & quot; Why airliner no parachutes?

A: Well, first of all know that the flight path at a speed close to 500 km / h and at an altitude of 10-12 km. Breathe at this altitude there is nothing - this time, the temperature behind at such a height -50 - two, and therefore we need special. Heated clothing, helmets and oxygen masks. Give all passengers before the flight is no problem, but in the confusion and panic all over the dress does not seem possible. For safe skydiving need certain skills and knowledge that passengers do not have, and to teach them this flight is impossible. In order to carry passengers from the release liner, special needs. hatches and doors, whose capacity will be disposed of 100-200 passengers for 10-20 seconds on a cruise ship is not. Precedent for disaster occurs at high altitudes and that the plane just break becomes known for a few seconds before impact with the ground, ie, one can understand that the use of parachutes in passenger airliners ineffective and traumatic. Half of the passengers die jumping with a parachute, but suddenly disaster will be avoided. As in the example of the Tu-154 Izhme. Imagine - passengers jumped from a plane at random, half dead, and the plane landed safely and took.



Question: "Why do planes fly high? In this connection it is necessary? »

A: At high altitude thin air density is less resistance less speed means more and more fuel economy.



Question: "And you can about the" lazerhuliganov "from the ground to tell whether they interfere with the pilots?»

Answer: Of course not, it's the media loves to inflate. To prevent the pilot laser, need at least a few seconds without looking him in the eye shine this laser. On the ground still needs to manage to get the laser into the cockpit, which sits or takes off, not only need to also get into the eye. It is impossible :)



Question: "Power is everywhere the same aircraft, or what? Here summer fed less bearable. Gave pieces of sausage, tomatoes and ogurechek. Now on flights generally give one oil and bun with cheese. This saves the airline or a diet at all?

Answer: What to feed its passengers, the airline decides. All food is prepared at the airport, ordering food supplies airline. If the on-board food is awful, it is the fault of the airline - save!



Question: "Why during takeoff and landing to open curtains porthole?"

Answer: it is necessary for several reasons: first in an emergency plastic curtain may break and cause injury, and secondly in the case of an emergency flight attendants have to assess the situation behind and the third - in case of emergency rescue services have to see what happens in the cabin .



Question: "I've always loved airplanes and want to become a pilot (blue dream), but I'm a girl and parents say it's hard to get girls to pilots, is this true? Anyway I would like to know the pros and cons of working on a pilot for a long time man worked as a pilot, ie already experienced and knows a lot "

Answer: learn to be a pilot for girls - there is no problem, I know girls who fly co-pilot, although I only know in the Western airlines. Girls are often more difficult to study, because there are severe discipline as aircraft design, aerodynamics, etc. If you pass all ezkameny and learn everything, then there is no problem. For those who love aviation and raves no cons! :) Even by the same routes fly pleasant and interesting. Although we fly not one and the same, fly from there to the airline.

Question: "And to what speed the plane accelerates for takeoff? & Quot;

A: Well, in different planes different speed of separation and still it depends on the take-off weight of the aircraft. Well Boeing 737 on average 220 km / h, 747 - 270 km / h, the Yak-40 - 180 km / h, the An-2 - 90 km / h :)



Question: "Why do airplanes oval portholes?»

Answer: 4 corners of a square - are weaknesses. If you press on a square design, the crack will go because of the angles. Therefore, the oval and round windows, constructive safety and reliability square.
