1. Airlines are always watching, so that fuel consumption is minimized. Pilots in the event of unforeseen circumstances (bad Flight conditions) are forced to land at alternate aerodromes, not only due to lack of fuel, but also to not overdraw it above the norm, even if available in the tanks.
2. Sometimes, the pilots did not have time even for food, and they are forced to delay the flight just for a quick bite to eat.
3. The pilots never tell passengers what happened something unexpected on board, as long as the situation does not become absolutely irreversible.
4. In the film often showed the aircraft departure delays for a few minutes to wait for a latecomer. In reality this does not happen.
5. According to the rules, the pilot at the controls may be up to 16 hours without a break.
6. For US pilots most "unloved" airports - Reagan International and John Wayne in California. They have a very short runways, which is why very seldom get to land the plane with sufficient softness. Second particularly disliked because of the fact that on the approach to it was built many large mansions whose owners are big shots and do not like noise, so you have to convert the plane into the "ballistic flight" by reducing the noise of the turbines, which significantly increases the risk of take-off and landing.
7. It often happens that the aircraft must fly from points A to B, but the takeoff is delayed for weather reasons. At the same time points, and great weather, and some passengers call to B and find that there is also a good weather. Some then think that it is any plot pilots, but in fact the flight is delayed because of the fact that the path between A and B has a large storm front, despite the fact that in A and in B good weather.
8. One of the most important indicators of skill is the skill of the pilot landing. If you want to say something nice to pilots, thank them for a good fit.
9. The air in the cabin is not dirty, as some passengers. Part of it goes recycling to reduce the moisture and then passed through a special filter, such as hospitals are operating. The air in the aircraft better and cleaner than most of the buildings on the ground.
10. The flight of some flights "rounded" in a big way to improve the overall picture and to reduce delays. Because of this, for the flight of 1 hour 45 minutes duration indicated at 2, which gives 15 "safety" minutes.
11. If you see that the stewards on the plane sit on their seats - a worrying sign for the passengers. Most likely, along the route of great turbulence.
12. In aviation terminology, there is no concept of "landing on the water." This is called a "drop in the ocean».
13. Many passengers are horrified when the plane gets into a zone of turbulence, and it begins to shake, and the wings at the same bend as if made of paper. In fact, very rarely turbulence leads to disaster, and the pilots try to avoid falling into such a zone in the first place, in order not to irritate passengers.
14. Many pilots in flight survived a lightning strike in the liner. Passengers heard a roar, saw the flash, and .... Nothing, fly farther. Planes are designed so that a lightning strike in the majority of cases are not disabling them.
15. Once off the sign "fasten your seat belts," many passengers as soon as they undo the belief that it's okay. However, when flying at 800 kilometers per hour entering the aircraft even in a small pocket of air will result in that they are well knocking head on the ceiling.
16. If you're going to recline his chair and take a little nap, be sure to check what's going on behind. Every day, hundreds and hundreds of laptops are broken due to the fact that the front seat occupant's seat tilts sharply, that breaks the computer on his knees sitting back.
17. There are the safest seats on the plane. In one incident die sitting in the front, in others - sitting behind.
The most "soft" place is usually near the wings. Most "Tryasuchev" - behind the cabin. The aircraft behaves like a giant swing, hanging by the wings, so it is at the point of attachment in the cabin is minimal pitching.
18. For the most nervous passengers preferred to fly early in the morning. After heated the earth causes the formation of rising air that felt when flying. It is also more likely in the afternoon thunderstorm.
19. The pilots and stewards are not very good are laid out on lap laptops. The reason for this - not electromagnetic interference, according to the controlling bodies of the flights and the danger in shaking or uncontrolled contact with air currents. No person shall hunt to get such a shell in the head.
20. The requirement to remove the headphones at certain points in the flight and is not related to the harmfulness of pilots and their desire to bring you a lot of inconvenience - so they just want you to listen to ads in the cabin.
21. When the inside is cold - refer to the flight attendant. Usually they try to set the minimum air temperature comfortable.
22. If possible, wear sturdy shoes flying, not beach slippers - in case of danger it will be easier to leave the plane shod and barefoot on the burning floor, strewn with sharp shards.
23. The air in the cabin is moving in the direction from the front to the rear of the cabin. If you want to breathe clean air as much as possible, sit closer to the front of the cabin. At the rear of the air is generally warmer - it has already warmed by the breath and sitting in front of their heat.
24. The people believe that the aircraft can fly on their own, on autopilot most of the time of flight. It's true - 70-80% of the time flying boat flying on autopilot. For reliability in commercial airliners all autopilot system is duplicated at least twice.
25. The pilot will never say to passengers: "We are before a big thunderstorm," he says, "In front of the course there is a slight cloudiness." Instead of "One of our engines defective" he is likely to say anything, because most of the passengers do not hear the difference in the noise of the engines.
26. Despite the fact that the pilots are forbidden to engage in the workplace than any different from the operation of the aircraft, in a two-hour flight and a half hours airliner flying on autopilot, and this time you need something to do. Therefore, the pilots read the newspaper, watch DVD and engaged in other non-standard cases.
