Life in the Air
Fly nonstop-Most accidents occur during the take off climb
descent and landing phase of flight sp flying non stop would reduce
exposure to these most accidents prone phase of flight .
Choose bigger aircrafts-Now , all air craf6ts with
more than 30 passengers seats were designed and certified under
the strictest regulations. Also , in the unlikely event of a serious
accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger
survival.
Keep the over head storage bin free of heavy items-Over
head storage bins may not be able to hold very heavy objects during
turbulence , so if you or another passenger have trouble lifting
an item into the bin, have it stored else where .
Fasten your seat belt -Keeping the belt on provides
that extra protection you might need if the plane hits unexpected
turbulence .
Listen to the flight attendants - The primary reason flight attendants
are on an air craft axis for safety , so if one of them asks you
to do something like fastening your belt , do it fast and ask questions
later .
Give flight attendants a chance to serve you -Flight
attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea on
a moving air craft , so allow them to pour the drink like coffee
or tea on a moving aircraft , so allow them to pour the drink and
hand it to you.
Don't drink too much -The atmosphere in the airliner
cabin is pressurized to about the same altitude as Denver , so any
alcohol you consume will affect you more strongly than at sea level.
Be alert -In the unlikely event that you are involved
in an emergency situation , such as a precautionary emergency evacuation
, follow the directions of the flight attendants and flight crew
and exit the air craft as quickly as possible.
Stay away from suspicious circumstances -If you
encounter potential hazards such as un accompanied packages , suspicious
behavior, or an un usual commotion in the air port , move away from
the situation before contacting some one in authority . If necessary
, warn others in the vicinity.
Become familiar with your air craft -When you are
first seated review the written safety instructions ,read the safety
data card an the seat pocket infront of you. count the number of
rows to the nearest exit towards the front of the plane , and check
to see if there are seat back telephone available .
Have a plan for the emergency of a wireless device -In
the event of an in- flight emergency , you should take stock of
the situation before using any communications device , including
the aircraft's seat back telephones. If you are a flight emergency
, you should take stock of the situation before using any communications
device , including the air craft 's seat back telephones . If you
are a flight attendant or other employee , contact an appropriate
office or department at the airline.
Work as a team - If the situation on the air craft
has the potential for danger, it is usually better to share information
with crew members and other passengers and to work together . Individual
action , either during normal emergency or during a hijack or other
deliberate threats to the air craft , is usually much less effective
than the coordinated group action.
What to wear to reduce risks - In the unlikely
event of an air plane evacuation via escape slides , synthetic fibers
can become very hot due to friction , and melt causing first , second
and even third degree burns to the body and legs . Take note of
these tips when traveling to ensure your comfort and safety.
-Wear clothes made of natural fiber such as cotton ,wool, and leather
. These fibers offer the best protection during and airplane evacuation
or fire . Synthetics such as rayon , polyester , nylon can melt
when heated .
-Wear clothing that is roomy and comfortable .
-Wear long pants and long sleeves . Avoid wearing shorts or skirts
since these types of clothes do not appropriately cover extremities.
-Wear low- heeled laced or strapped shoes or boots . Shoes made
of leather or canvas are preferable . High healed shoes will have
to be removed before leaving the airplane via escape slide . This
will slow your departure from the air plane and put you at risk
for severe injury from possible hazards such as broken glass , or
metal debris .
Avoid wearing sandals for the same reason.
