Why takeoff asked to open curtains on the portholes? 12 air-facts
Aircraft - is a separate world. With his hard language, spoken by the flight attendants, with their strict rules and not always legible characters. < Website has decided to answer the most common questions about air travel.
1. Do I need to actually disable the phone, my iPhone can do drop a plane? H3> Of course not, phone the aircraft is unlikely to somehow prevent it. But it can easily prevent pilots. Remember the characteristic noise in the columns, which we hear a couple of seconds before the bell? So because of the noise, including the pilot can not hear some important information from the controller, such as the fact that the band is not ready yet to take off.
2. Will he autopilot land the plane? H3> No. Autopilot, though he brainy guy, but he is far artificial intelligence. In the end it is just a program that does not control the airplane itself, but simply facilitates the management for pilots. PowerPoint, too smart, but he is not for you to make a presentation. Same thing with the autopilot.
3. If the aircraft can not smoke in the toilets, why there is an ashtray? H3> They were not there would be if all the passengers were so conscious and do not violate this rule. The airline can not attach to each personal current sensor and beat every time someone is going to smoke in the toilet of the aircraft. Therefore, guided by the banal security appliances, ashtrays installed there. If and to break the rules, even cigarette butts in the ashtray extinguish, and not in the ballot boxes with papers.
4. Jets dinners are so small they can not be eat. And you can ask the supplement? H3> It is possible especially for the hungriest of passengers, as well as in case of any unforeseen situations (when someone suddenly drop a box of food on the floor), to take a 10-15 replacement flight meals. By the way, the same box of foil, which is packed hot, called "cassole." Another word in your piggy bank useless knowledge.
5. And pilots eat the same meals as the passengers? H3> No. Many airlines give each pilot single food that is different from eating other crew members. This is rather a safety net, in case if the fish suddenly turns stale, you spoil it only one pilot and one that eating chicken is healthy. In any case, it happens very rarely.
6. Is it necessary to raise the curtains on the windows, the chair and table in the rise and decline? And anyway, why all this? H3> All the same safety, which is provided in the event of contingencies and emergencies. Backrest need to raise to happen that the people sitting behind it was easier to get out into the aisle. The table should be raised to a sudden stop when you do not break on his ribs. And the curtains on the portholes to help navigate the flight attendants in the situation by any chance will be in the cabin smoke.
7. I saw the wings of the aircraft swung, it is generally okay? Suddenly they break down? H3> Do not break. Wing aircraft is not only very strong. It is also a very flexible, even for him, and this can not be said. In fact, the wings can be bent at an angle of almost 45 degrees, and they are all the same this does not break.
8. And what if someone opens the door in flight? H3> Then, of course, is bad. But! At an altitude of 10 kilometers pressure acting on the back of the door it is equal to almost 10 tons. A lot of you know people who are able to master such a weight? That's right. However, even assuming that the airplane is flying with you the strongest man on the planet, which is able to move the weight, he anyway does not work: the door is locked reliable electronic and mechanical locks.
9. Is it true that the contents of the toilet when flushed crashes down? H3> Of course not. This is not a train, so that when you press the flush bottom sleepers flashed. That noise you hear when flushing - is not depressurized and drained just air, which sends all the good in a special tank. And he then emptied the tank on the ground.
10. Deeply if air pockets? H3> Turbulence unpleasant thing, yes. However, the fall of the false sense that your body experiences during this shake - no more than his defensive reaction. The fact that our vestibular system by nature not intended to fly. In fact during such turbulence plane is shifted in the space of only a few tens of centimeters. For very large and serious air pits, this shift may be up to 5-7 meters. But this is from the category of trucks with food when jumping through the cabin. And by the way, less shaking on the ground near the wing.
11. How are the animals in the baggage compartment? H3> Let's start with the fact that the animals in the luggage compartment do not fly. At the height of the temperature behind it reaches -60 degrees, and so little oxygen to breathe at all possible. Animals have a compartment in which there are heating and ventilation. Of course, there are few amenities, even the interior of an economy class in comparison with the cavern's paradise. But then, they are animals.
12. What will happen, if you're caught having sex in the bathroom? H3> Probably nothing, except, of course, a sense of unease. But it is already at everyone. Have you ever wondered why every aircraft toilet was two oxygen masks? Coincidence? So, if you're caught and having sex in the toilet stall the plane, most likely there will be no trials, no penalties, just ask you not to do. Well, just in case: if the booth is occupied by more than 15 minutes, the staff can open the door and begin to worry
