The pilot explained about 10 secrets on the aircraft that were less disclosed

Pilots are not allowed to bear their whiskers, and to go to the toilet, one after another, and the oxygen tank is only enough to breathe for 15 minutes.

Pilots must not bear a beard

Many airlines regulate their pilots are not allowed to bear a beard. The reason is that if raising beards, especially vegetable straps, in an emergency where the oxygen tank is required, the beard will make the bottle not fit tightly into the face. That leads to air release, which is dangerous for pilots. The pilot's health is always top priority because he holds hundreds of lives in his hands, so the rules for pilots are also more stringent.

The plane does not fly into straight lines

Many people have thought that airplanes will fly straight like flying birds but in fact they are not, especially when looking at flying maps. Most are arc paths, sometimes flying in zigzag lines. The first is because the spherical earth and the plane follow the Earth's surface, while the map is a plane, so the figure shown is usually a curve or a twist. In addition, for reasons of weather, flight routes, flight safety, aviation security of each area, the aircraft will fly in its own orbit.

How the pilot goes to the toilet

Pilots want to go to the toilet, the attendant will enter the cockpit waiting until the pilot returns.

When one of the pilots needs to use the toilet, the flight attendant will enter the cockpit and wait until the person returns. This avoids the remaining pilots in the cockpit left the door and controls the aircraft.

This is a scientific comment, not subjective. And this is not the "sin" of the ground, but because when we are at high pressure, taste, and smell, our function will decrease, so we cannot smell or feel the taste of the food correctly. serve. When lowering, this condition will improve and eating food will feel better now.

Pilots communicate with flight attendants through bulletproof doors

For many airlines and in modern aircraft, aircraft are always equipped with bulletproof doors in the cockpit with a security code. The code will work if the pilot does not take any action within 120 seconds after entering the code, to ensure safety for not only pilots but also for all passengers, in the event of a terrorist attack. , not piloting. In addition, flight attendants no longer have to regularly cross check with pilots, daytime flights are 40 minutes and at night every 20 minutes to make sure everything in the cockpit is okay.

The smoothest seat is near the wing

The position in the middle of the plane, near the wing area is the quietest place.

This is the experience revealed by the pilots. The plane is like a passenger car, and the shocking position is at the back of the plane. So, if you want a smooth flight, not too much jerky, choose the position in the middle of the plane, near the wing area.

"Heavy" landing is sometimes intentional

Passengers always expect every response to be smooth and gentle and this is also an effort and a benchmark of pilot experience. However, sometimes a heavy landing is intentional. Because if the airport is slippery after too high rains or humidity in the ice, this will contribute to reducing over-control of the aircraft.

Night lights are always dimmed

In addition to the reason for fuel saving, to make it easier for guests to fall asleep, the reduction of light will help the eyes adapt well to the dark environment. This is useful when in an emergency, it must be moved out, the passengers' eyes are not overwhelmed and better navigable.

Oxygen tank is only enough for guests to breathe for 15 minutes

15 minutes is enough for pilots to lower the altitude to a place with better pressure so you can breathe normally.

This fact has made many people afraid and surprised because it has been assumed that oxygen cylinders are safe solutions to maintain air for hours. But you do not need to worry too much by 15 minutes is enough for pilots to lower the altitude to a place with better pressure so you can breathe normally without oxygen tank.

Postponing affects the hostess

Do not vent your anger on the flight attendant every time you have a flight delay because most airlines calculate the salary for the flight attendants based on flight hours. Their on-ground time is calculated with a small allowance. Therefore, delaying the trip also directly affects the flight attendants and they also suffer from the same difficulties as you.
