Why during takeoff asked to open the curtains on portholes. 12 flight facts Bashny.Net

Planes is a whole separate world. With their incomprehensible language spoken by flight attendants, with their strict rules and not always legible signs.

We decided to answer the most common questions about air travel.



1. Do I need to actually turn off the phone, really my iPhone can drop a plane?

Of course no, the aircraft is unlikely to prevent it. But he could easily prevent the pilots. Remember that a characteristic noise in the speakers, we hear a couple of seconds before the call? So because of this noise, including the pilot may not hear some important information from the Manager, for example, that the strip is not ready yet to take off.

2. Can autopilot itself to land the plane?

No. Autopilot, though he is a brainy guy, but to artificial intelligence it is far. In the end, it's just a program that does not control the aircraft itself, but simply facilitates the control for the pilots. PowerPoint is also smart, but he for you presentation will not do. Same thing with autopilot.

3. If in the toilets of planes you can't smoke, why are there ashtrays?

Them there and it would be if all passengers were conscious and did not violate this rule. The airline can't attach to each personal sensor and to beat the current every time someone is going to smoke in the airplane bathroom. Therefore, guided by the banal safety, ashtrays installed there. If we break the rules, then at least put out butts in ashtrays, not in the ballot boxes with papers.

4. Airplane meals are so small, they cannot eat. And you can ask Supplement?

. Especially for the hungry passengers, and in case of any unforeseen situations (if someone suddenly dropped a box of food on the floor), in flight take 10-15 spare lunch. By the way, that same box of foil, which pack hot, is called "packaging". One more word to your collection of useless knowledge.

5. And the pilots eat the same meals as the passengers?

No. Many airlines, each pilot is issued a separate food, which is different from eating other crew members. It is more likely to be safe, in case if the fish suddenly turns stale, spoiled she is only one pilot, and one that had chicken will be healthy. In any case, this happens very rarely.

6. Do I have to raise the curtains on portholes, chair, table at take-off and lower? And anyway, why all this?

All the same safety equipment that is provided in case of abnormal and emergency situations. The chair needs to raise in order for that happen, the people sitting in the back was easier to get out into the aisle. The table needs to be raised, so under heavy braking you do not broke it ribs. And the curtains on portholes will help flight attendants to sort out the situation if suddenly the cabin will be in the smoke.

7. I saw the plane's wings rocked, it is generally okay? Suddenly they break down?

Will not break. The wing is not only very durable. It is also extremely flexible, though it wouldn't say. In fact, the wings can be bent to an angle of about 45 degrees and they still will not break.

8. What if someone will open the door in flight?

Then, of course, will be bad. But! At an altitude of 10 kilometers, the pressure acting on the back of the equivalent of 10 tons. You know a lot of people who are able to handle the weight? It is the same. However, even assuming that the aircraft flies the most powerful man on the planet who is able to shift this weight, it still does not work: the door is securely locked electronic and mechanical locks.

9. Is it true that the contents of the bowl when the flushing crashes down?

Of course not. It's not a train, so that when you click flush on the bottom of the sleepers flashed. The noise that you hear when you flush is not in a coma, and just drain that sends all the goodness in a special tank. And this tank is then emptied on the ground.





10. Deep air holes?

Turbulence is an unpleasant thing, Yes. However, a deceptive feeling of falling that your body is experiencing during such shaking is nothing more than a defensive reaction. The fact that our vestibular system is not designed by nature for flight. In fact, during this turbulence, the plane moves in the space of only a few tens of centimeters. For very large and serious air pits this offset can reach up to 5-7 meters. But this is one of those when the food trucks jump through the cabin. And, by the way, less shaking on the ground near the wing.

11. How do you feel the animals in the baggage compartment?

Let's start with the fact that the animals in the baggage compartment do not fly. At altitude the outside temperature reaches 60 degrees and the oxygen so little, that breathing is in General not possible. Animals have their own compartment, in which there are heating and ventilation. Of course, provided there are few, even of salon of economy class compared to this, the cavern's Paradise. But, then, they are animals.

12. What will happen if you get busted for having sex in the toilet?

Probably nothing, except, of course, embarrassment. But it already at everyone. Have you ever wondered why each airplane toilet exactly two oxygen masks? Coincidence? So, if you get busted for sex in a toilet stall of the aircraft, most likely there will be no trials, no penalties, just ask you not to do it. Well, just in case: if the stall is occupied for more than 15 minutes, the staff may begin to worry and open the door.published
