Dangerous situations during the flight, which no one knows about. Rules of conduct in case of aircraft hijacking. Why do pilots sometimes fly in the cabin with passengers?

Many people who have panic attacks hate flying. By the way, although I don’t have panic attacks, I still can’t stand airplanes.

So, this article will be useful to a lot of people. Well, except for the pilots themselves or the stewardesses, who are specially trained how to behave in regular situations. We read and remember.

The plane is considered one of the safest modes of transport, however, even in it passengers are in danger. What are they and what to do in order to minimize the damage.

Fight on board

Fights on board the aircraft have become a common occurrence, both among our compatriots and among foreign tourists. This is explained, as a rule, by the fact that many people get drunk at the airport in order to allay the fear of flying or simply reduce the waiting time. Once in a confined space, someone just falls asleep, while someone begins to look for reasons for conflict.

The most dangerous thing on board is a group of fans who strive to get the maximum adrenaline and, along with fights, arrange a “pitching”, that is, they rush from one side to another. If there are less than 30 people, it is not dangerous, otherwise the balance of the aircraft may be disturbed.

• Having witnessed a fight on board, first of all, you need to remain calm.
• All foreign airlines have so-called "marshals" in their crews - large stewards who are much better at pacifying violent passengers than serving sandwiches.
• But in domestic companies there is no such position, so men should be ready to help the flight attendant if necessary.

Turbulence zone and air pockets

Turbulence refers to the mixing of several air streams with different temperatures and density, as a result of which the aircraft can instantly descend or rise by several tens of meters.

Most often, this happens at an altitude of more than six thousand meters, during a flight over the city, sandy beach or a lake, the surface of which is heated unevenly.

When an aircraft crashes into a large air pocket, all items in the cabin and not properly secured, soar up sharply and then fall on those sitting. In addition, if you do not buckle up, you can get bruised or even fractured by hitting during the shaking that usually happens when passing through a turbulence zone.

• When boarding a plane, make sure that there are no heavy or sharp objects, loose luggage nearby.
• Even a pen in a jacket pocket can become dangerous, so it's best to pack it in a bag.
• In addition, be sure to buckle up, and if you get into a turbulence zone, group yourself as indicated in the passenger memo.

Airplane fire

It is not uncommon for passengers themselves to be responsible for a fire on an airplane, carelessly handling fire or smoking on board. True, a fire can occur during takeoff or landing, and then the passenger has no more than three minutes to get out of the plane.

• First of all, remember that the plane is a huge flying fuel truck, and it is strictly forbidden to use lighters or smoke on board.
• If a fire while on runway has already begun, try to leave the cabin as soon as possible.
• To do this, when landing, remember where the emergency exits are located, count how many rows of seats there are from you to the exit, in order to orient yourself even by touch.
• Don't inhale the smoke, walk bent over or on all fours, put on a coat or jacket, and get rid of synthetics in your clothes (including tights), because when melted, they cause the most severe burns.
• You should not take off your shoes, except for stilettos when entering the inflatable ladder, and even those should be held in your hands so that you can immediately put on shoes on the ground and not step on broken glass or plastic.

Decompression

Decompression, unlike most air accidents, happens very quickly and, although it seems frightening, is not a cause for panic. The loud noise that accompanies the release of air from the cabin can scare, but this is not the most dangerous. The plane quickly fills with fog and dust, it becomes difficult to breathe, there is ringing in the ears. At this point, the most important thing is not to panic, but to put on oxygen mask and securely fasten it so that it does not fall off, even with a possible pitching or loss of consciousness. Know that the crew will immediately begin to correct the situation, and the aircraft will descend sharply until the pressure in the cabin and outside equalize, and then an emergency landing will be made at the nearest airport.

• At the first sign of decompression, put on your oxygen mask and then help those around you.
• Even if there is a child nearby, take care of yourself first, otherwise you may pass out and leave him without help.

Takeoff and landing accidents

It is not for nothing that flight attendants ask passengers to fasten their seat belts and raise their seat backs during takeoff and landing. The most unexpected accidents occur during these periods of flight.

• First of all, you should not rely only on the instructions of the crew.
• If you notice that the flight is going wrong (the plane is descending sharply, one of the engines has died down, or there is smoke in the cabin), buckle up, group up and get ready for an emergency landing, during which severe overloads are inevitable.
• As soon as the plane stops, passengers will be evacuated. At this point, you should not succumb to panic, but you need to do everything as quickly as possible.

Hijacking

Cases of aircraft hijacking are extremely rare, however, they quickly become known to the whole world. And although the chance that the Moscow-Antalya flight will be hijacked is negligible, it is still better to know the basic rules of behavior and survival in such situations.

• Do not stand out among other passengers, fulfill all the requirements of the criminals, and then the release groups.
• Perform any action (going to the toilet, opening luggage) only after receiving permission.
• During the assault, try to sit or lie down on the floor or hide behind the back of a chair, do not express your attitude towards the invaders and do not try to deal with them yourself.
• After your release, be prepared for the fact that for the next few hours you will have to continuously answer questions from the police and law enforcement agencies.

Water landing

IN emergency cases the plane can land on the water, but this does not mean that casualties are inevitable, since all aircraft are prepared for this. The ship can stay afloat for up to 40 minutes, and during this time everyone has time to leave it. Besides, modern aircraft equipped with life jackets and life rafts that self-inflate in one minute.

• Before departure, find out in what position the aircraft is kept afloat - horizontally, with the tail lowered into the water or the bow. Based on this, plan which exit you will need to move to.
• After landing, start with the help of the stewards to launch self-inflating rafts. If the raft does not start to inflate by itself, pull the handle of the air supply system located on the side of the raft.

P.S. And so that you don’t feel completely scared, let me defuse the situation a little:

Crew, prepare to land! Flight mechanic, report the situation!
— No left landing gear!
- Emergency landing! Stewardess! Is there still a supply of alcohol on board?
- Yes!
- Give it to the passengers, so as not to worry!
- You already issued it once after takeoff, they are now rolling some kind of wheel along the aisle ...

It is easier to believe in magic than to understand how a person manages to lift a multi-ton iron bird into the sky. Ignorance breeds fear of the unknown. Therefore, many pilots and other airline employees are happy to tell what is really worth fearing and why airplanes are wonderful!

website chose 16 understandable answers to the most exciting and difficult questions that interest everyone who has seen an airplane at least once in their life.

16. How to get to the pilots if their door is locked from the inside?

There is a special code that the flight attendant dials to get into the cockpit. This is necessary for cases when, for example, both pilots have lost consciousness. The commander before the flight learns the code and informs the crew of it. After entering the code, the door will open within a minute, but only if the pilots take no action. If the pilot sees through a video camera that a non-crew member is standing at the door, then he completely blocks the door, and the attacker cannot get inside.

15. Are pilots allowed to wear bushy mustaches or piercings?

The beard, bushy mustache, piercings, and any other decorations and "growths" on the face prevent the pilot from using an oxygen mask, which must fit snugly over the face. Therefore, the pilot's face is always clean, sometimes slightly unshaven is allowed. Otherwise, a situation is created that endangers the lives of passengers.

14. What happens if all engines fail?

During each flight, the aircraft switches to a mode in which . If in a car with a manual transmission to shift the lever to neutral, going down the hill, it will be the same. Complete engine failure is extremely rare, and in this case there is a special instruction for restarting them.

But also without engines, the plane can land on a gliding descent. The most famous incident was with a Boeing 747 over Java in 1982, when the aircraft was caught in a cloud of dust from an erupting volcano and all 4 engines failed. The crew managed to land the plane at the nearest airport, and none of the 263 people was injured.

13. How long do oxygen masks last?

The oxygen level and pressure inside the aircraft are maintained artificially. If cabin depressurization occurs on high altitude, a person develops hypoxia: he loses consciousness and can die without an oxygen mask.

Oxygen. This time is enough for the pilot to lower the plane to a height where you can breathe normally. The pilot has his own stationary oxygen mask, designed for more time- to lower and even land the plane without losing concentration. Before each flight, pilots check the performance of their masks.

12. Do pilots sleep at the controls?

Approximately 56% of pilots accidentally fall asleep during the flight, although it is better to say they can doze off. Fortunately, modern aircraft operate almost all the time in autopilot mode, and controllers require constant feedback from pilots.

On long-haul flights, two crews or three pilots can work at once, replacing each other with a break for rest. The pilot, having worked his shift, sleeps in a special cabin. It is important that the crew is constantly in touch with the controllers and that at least one pilot controls the flight.

11. Why does the plane go around?

This . An aircraft may go-around for various reasons, such as runway some object or animal, a strong side wind is blowing, or the airport is temporarily closed for an urgent landing of a special aircraft.

Passengers are worried because the plane suddenly gains altitude before the long-awaited landing, but in fact everything is under control - this is the standard way of go-around.

10. What nationality does a child born on an airplane get?

Exists . This will be the passport.

• the country where the airline of the aircraft on which the birth took place is registered;
• the country over which he was born;
• country where the aircraft landed.

In most cases, in practice, the first option is obtained, but the decision is made by the airline, taking into account the current legislation. Some airlines give kids a bonus as a gift: the opportunity to fly free of charge on their planes anywhere in the world for life.

9. Can an airplane land on autopilot?

In modern aircraft, control systems guide the aircraft along the route from a height of 300 meters and almost to a full landing on the runway. During landing, auto landing can be used, but the pilot needs to activate this mode and monitor it by setting certain landing configurations.

Already before a direct landing on the runway, the aircraft is directed by the course-glide path system: the airport radio beacon guides the aircraft, correcting its path. This system works even if the aircraft is completely de-energized.

8. Hard landing on water or on land - which is safer?

7. How do pilots eat during the flight?

For pilots, a separate menu is prepared with several dishes to choose from: if the commander wants chicken, then the co-pilot will get fish or meat for lunch. This The best way avoid poisoning with the same products. Pilots take turns eating, some right behind the wheel at special tables.

But there are airlines where this rule is not respected and pilots can get the same portion of food as passengers.

6. Why do pilots sometimes fly in the cabin with passengers?

Sometimes, as part of their work, pilots fly with passengers from one airport to another. If they are on board in uniform, then with passengers they will sleep, eat or watch movies with headphones. The sight of a pilot in uniform during such activities can be misleading and lead to panic among passengers. But more often, uniformed pilots fly in spare seats in the cockpit or in first class.

5. What is more terrible - crashing into a bird, getting hit by hail or getting struck by lightning?

Lightning often hits the plane, but the passengers do not even notice it. In extremely rare cases, this can lead to a blackout of the aircraft. In this case, the pilots have several instructions that literally reset the electronics on board, and the flight continues as usual.

Birds represent great danger than it seems. Entry into a fan or turbine can result in engine destruction, failure, and even fire. Not every windshield will survive

It is clear that the desire of the buyer is the law for any seller ... However, these rules can only be applied in everyday "terrestrial" life. In the sky, however, things are quite different. Buying air tickets means taking on a number of obligations and agreements: do not smoke, do not drink excessive alcohol, do not distract the crew of the aircraft for no reason, behave calmly even in case of general excitement, and also do not try to leave the plane during the flight :)

However, no one imposed a ban on requests ... It is they who are sometimes more difficult than the crying of a capricious child.

The most common strange requests from passengers are “where can I take a shower?”, “how to reduce engine noise?”, “Is there a McDonald's here” and “in the end, open the window and ventilate the cabin!”.

Some passengers ask flight attendants to tell the pilot to "stop the turbulence."

One day, a Virgin Atlantic flight attendant was asked to bring tea and massage a Barbie doll. And another passenger asked to take her children to the nursery.

One of the passengers turned to the stewardess with a very urgent problem: could she help find the glass eye he had lost in the cabin.

One day, a VIP passenger in business class asked a flight attendant to fix her hair. The strangest thing is that the stewardess was not at all embarrassed. She took hair styling products, a comb from colleagues and fully satisfied the request of the passenger.

However, the most interesting situations occur during incidents involving "fire water".

The most "pleasant" surprises are arranged by drunken women. So, a 25-year-old English teacher grabbed one of the crew members by the crotch and demanded sex, and a drunken Russian woman staged a striptease, after which the plane returned back. Apparently, the striptease was not appreciated :) But one American, after another glass, broke it and began to threaten the crew with a “rose”, which resulted in her imprisonment.

Moreover, not only ordinary people are naughty, but also famous personalities ... So, on one of the AirFrance flights, the actor Gerard Depardieu, who was pretty drunk, decided to relieve himself right in the aisle between the seats. So did the 18-year-old skier, the sporting hope of skiing, who was expelled from the U.S. Youth Team because of it. After several such cases, it was decided to put drinking passengers at the aisle in close proximity to the toilets.

It should be remembered that on airplanes you should not even make fun of everything related to terrorism. So, for example, a retired Australian, Riccardo Paulin, was looking for a place to put his luggage, and humorously asked a Singaporean steward: “Where do you store bombs here?” The joke was not well received. For his part, the Australian made every possible apology, explaining that it was just a harmless joke. However, the Singapore court sentenced Riccardo Paulina to a fine of $6,500.

It was much more difficult in the situation with German tourist, which in literally words smelt the interior of the airliner. Because of the unbearable smell of sweat, he had to be thrown off the plane. Photographer by nature, obese 46-year-old Werner Brechtfield spent all day in Honolulu in the hot sun looking for photographic landscapes. And when he arrived at the airport, he “reeked like a lathered horse” (according to the German media). All the passengers and crew of the plane expressed their remarks to him about this. However, the man did not have a change of clothes, so he was dropped from the airliner.

The oddity of many passengers is their superstitions. So, for example, 62-year-old American James Steenhagen is absolutely sure that the plane moves thanks to his fingers, which he rotates during the flight, increasing the rotation speed in proportion to the speed of the engines. Another couple always raises their legs in time with the retracting of the landing gear. They believe that in this way they help the liner get off the ground. 53-year-old Thomas Harding, for the same purpose, rises on the armrests of the chair. And Michael Conesco believes that the plane will not crash if he listens to Bonnie Wright songs during the flight, so when buying plane tickets, he always puts a player in his luggage first.

No matter how strange and awkward the situations with passengers on board may seem, this is still the part of the flight that will be remembered the most, and for a long time you will remember with a smile that bad-smelling passenger who frantically searched for McDonald’s on board your airliner :)

Fly smiling!

Why is it forbidden to use electronics on an airplane during takeoff and landing? Even with your phone in airplane mode? Even the player to listen to?

So all the same: do you need to applaud when touching the landing gear of the runway?

Why do flight attendants pester me all the time with requests to raise the curtains of the windows? Do they affect anything?

What if a person dies on board? Where is the body taken?

Where does airplane food come from? After all, I never found a kitchen on board. Where is it stored, how long does it lie?

Why can't you smoke during the flight? Just a health issue?

Movies often show how, on advice from the ground, random passengers land the plane. It's all computer controlled!

Fight for a place

Economy class is not the best comfortable place. There is a piggy way to improve it a bit.

On the Internet, you can easily find a gadget called Knee Defender. These are locks that are put on the dining table and do not allow the chair in front to recline.

There are disputes about the ethical side of the device, because comfort is achieved by causing inconvenience to another passenger. At the same time, the Knee Defender does not violate any flight rules: its use on board is not prohibited. True, in August last year, the flight Newark - Denver made emergency landing in Chicago, it was the fault of the gadget: the passengers quarreled and almost got into a fight because of it. If you decide to buy - this thing costs about 1100 rubles.

I looked out the window and saw that the wing on my side was swaying strangely. Is this the end or do modern planes flap their wings to fly?

How does an airplane toilet work? Is it really, like in Soviet trains, that everything is immediately dumped?

During a transatlantic flight, screens in the cabin show a map with a flight path and a funny airplane. Why do we fly in an arc and not directly? Also faster!

Why in airplanes of the same model, but different airlines economy class can be completely different cramped?

Is it possible for a pilot to cheat medical control before a flight and board the flight drunk?

The cabin of our aircraft was decorated for the New Year with Christmas decorations. Are they special?

Is it true that during long flights aircraft engines are periodically turned off and the aircraft simply glides for some time?

Ok, we seem to be falling. Am I lucky? Which compartment passengers have more chances for survival?

If the pilot is fenced off by an impenetrable door from the cabin, how does he communicate with the crew?

Is it true that you can learn how to fly an airplane by playing computer simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator?

According to the results of official statistics, the aircraft is recognized not only as the fastest and most comfortable, but also safe view passenger transport. The number of people who die in air crashes is much less than in the same car accidents. In addition, massive accidents occur almost daily, but major accidents with passenger aviation once every few years.

However, many people are afraid of flights, and in every possible way try to avoid them. The reason lies in the fact that the aircraft is a limited space with a large crowd of people, and its operation involves being at a high altitude above the ground. During a fall, a fire in the cabin or a hard landing, not everyone manages to survive. This is due to the lack of information on how to behave in case of emergency on board the aircraft, as well as inattention to the instructions of the flight personnel. This article describes the most common emergencies that may occur during a flight. A procedure has been given that will help you act more confidently and competently, which will significantly increase your chances of a successful outcome of air travel.

Emergency door opening

Rowdy on board: what to do in case of conflict or fight

Aggressive behavior of passengers on board Lately aircraft emergencies are becoming more and more frequent. Often this happens due to severe alcohol intoxication or the presence of a phobia before flying. Fear and anxiety takes on a panic form, and a person is simply not able to keep these feelings inside. Most often, the initiator of the conflict is men, but a woman can also show herself in all her glory.

In aviation, there is even such a thing as "drunk charters". It is most often used for tourist flights to Turkey, Thailand, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

The greatest danger is the situation when groups of sports fans are on board the aircraft. Mass conflicts with emotionally excited people are more difficult to resolve.

Never get involved in a conflict. Do not respond to provocations, especially if the person is drunk. Watch your movements and tone of voice. Any sharp wave of the hand or shout can become a trigger for the brawler, and he will go on the attack. If you witness a fight, then invite the flight attendant and remain calm.

There are specially trained marshals on board foreign airlines. It is they who are engaged in the pacification of aggressive passengers. There is no such practice in Russia yet. However, an innovation was the training of flight personnel in some self-defense techniques. They lie in the ability to quickly, effectively, and most importantly, non-traumatically for the brawler himself, to calm him down.

You should be aware that the punishment for such behavior can include both the forcible removal of a passenger from the aircraft and putting him on the “black list”, as well as a fine and arrest.

Actions when an aircraft is hijacked by terrorists

The hijacking or hijacking of an airliner is extremely rare, so you don’t need to worry about it too much. However, such situations have happened in the history of aviation, and their repetition cannot be guaranteed to be excluded. Consider the main recommendations that can save your life if the hijacking of the plane did happen.

1. Do not panic. Try not to interfere, no matter what happens. Do not get up from your chair, stop the neighbors from such a reckless step.
2. Do not argue with the invaders, do not ask them questions, and generally remain silent until you are asked. If you've been approached, don't ignore it.
3. Even if you are confident that you can deal with a terrorist, do not take risks. It is possible that he is not alone. In addition, he may have an explosive under his clothes, and your attempt to save everyone may kill everyone.
4. Do not respond to possible insults or mockery from criminals
5. Try to behave quietly and inconspicuously, do not communicate with neighboring passengers. Don't try to use the phone. All this can provoke aggression in the invaders.
6. by the most best action when the aircraft is captured, there will be your submission and acceptance of the situation.
7. The only thing you need to do is, if possible, remember all the conversations of criminals, the timbre of the voice, the signs of appearance, clothes, and demeanor.
8. In an attempt to relax or calm down, do not resort to taking alcoholic beverages. Do not react to crying children, it is better to help calm them down.
9. Do not stand up for crew members, do not show dissatisfaction with their decisions or actions. Always follow the orders received from the pilots, even if you strongly disagree with them.
10. Don't collude with terrorists, don't trust their promises. They can use anything to achieve their goals.
11. Think about yourself, but do not forget that there are children and elderly people in the cabin with you. Behave in such a way that you will not be ashamed later.
12. If you witness one of the passengers or crew being able to secretly leave the plane, do not change your behavior. Do not draw anyone's attention to this fact, do not tell anyone about it.
13. If you feel unwell or need to take any medication, inform the perpetrators.

Remember that if the negotiations of the special services with the hijackers are unsuccessful, then most likely the aircraft will be hijacked by law enforcement officers. In this case, you should fall down or hide behind the backs of the chairs. Don't run around the salon. You may get caught in the crossfire.

When instructed to leave the aircraft cabin, do so quickly. Do not search or collect your belongings. Be psychologically prepared for the fact that you will be interviewed. Try to get yourself together and answer all the questions as accurately as possible.

Turbulence: air pocket behavior

While flying over water or locality displacement of air flows is possible, since the air in such places warms up unevenly. The plane can rise and fall several meters, there is a slight shaking and pitching in the cabin.

Usually, such a phenomenon does not pose a great danger, but it can pretty scare passengers. It should be remembered that when passing through the turbulence zone, it is necessary to buckle up so as not to get bruises and injuries.

All things must be well secured, otherwise, with strong shaking, they fall on seated passengers. When landing and taking your seat, make sure that there are no heavy, sharp objects near you or above you.

It is better to free pockets of clothing from the contents, especially pens, keys, lighters should be pulled out. You can accidentally stumble upon them and get hurt.

Airplane fire: rules of conduct

Fire during flight can occur for various reasons. This can be facilitated by a breakdown on board, an unforeseen situation during landing or takeoff, or an electrical short circuit. In addition, often the passengers themselves become the culprits of such a terrible and dangerous situation. Some people simply ignore the prohibitions on smoking on board and the use of open flames.

Actions in case of fire in an aircraft include the following:

• Before flying, listen carefully to the flight attendant, who explains the location not only central entrances on board, but also where the emergency exits are located.
• Remember how far you are from the exit, count the seats to be able to navigate by touch in a smoky cabin.
• In the event of a fire, do not try at all costs to get to the exit through which you boarded the plane. Almost all passengers will do this, and there will be a crush. Remember about emergency exits Most of the time there are very few people there.
• There are only 1.5-2 minutes from a burning plane. Do not linger at the inflated ladder. No need to squat down and move out quietly. Just jump on it.
• Get rid of all flammable clothing. This is especially true for girls. Leggings and nylon tights will need to be removed so as not to get severe burns.
• Also remove high-heeled shoes to avoid dislocations, injury to other passengers, and damage to the emergency slide. Hold it in your hands so that once on the ground you can quickly put on shoes.
• Cover open areas of the skin with a dense cloth made of natural materials.
• Protect head and respiratory tract from combustion products. In cases of heavy smoke, it is necessary to bend down to the floor or crawl to the exit.
• Do not open hatches yourself. This action can intensify the flame.

If the fire occurred during the flight, then you should prepare for a hard landing. Small fires can be dealt with with the help of those on board. Remember that flight attendants and crew are doing everything to save passengers and the aircraft, so do not ignore their instructions, do not panic or interfere with their work.

Aircraft depressurization: what to do to survive

The loss of tightness by an aircraft under the influence of internal or external factors is called depressurization. In this situation, decompression is extremely dangerous. It represents a sharp drop in air pressure in the cabin. At the same time, it can be extremely fast, accompanied by loud noise and the sound of air leaving the cabin, and slow, when its signs are detected only when hypoxia occurs.

In the event of a depressurization in an aircraft, the actions must be clear and quick, as the loss of even a few minutes can cost you your life. This situation often leads to accidents in which no one manages to survive. However, modern aircraft provide a security system that can help passengers even in such a seemingly hopeless situation.

1. Fasten your seat belts. They will be able to keep you in the chair, and you will not be carried away by the air flow from the cabin.
2. Put on an oxygen mask immediately. A common mistake is to put the mask on your face and hold it with your hand. With any strong shaking or deterioration of health, the mask will fall out and you will suffocate.
3. Take care of yourself first, then help your loved ones and neighbors.
4. Don't get up. Group as instructed.

The mask will allow you to breathe normally for 15 minutes. This time may be enough for pilots to lower the board to a height of 3 km, at which the air is not so strongly discharged. In this case, people will be able to breathe on their own without causing severe harm to health.

Aircraft emergency during takeoff or landing

In this case, you should follow the instructions of the flight attendants. Fasten the straps and adjust them to your weight. It is correct that they are at the level of the hips, and not on the stomach, and fit snugly to the body.

Take the following posture:

1. cross your arms and rest them against the back of an adjacent chair, or you can rest your elbows;
2. put your head on your hands and close it with your palms;
3. rest your feet on the floor;
4. tense all muscles.

Any accessories around the neck can be dangerous. It is recommended to remove chains, scarves, ties before the flight. On impact, lean forward and down a little. Until the final stop of the aircraft, do not get up from your seats and do not unfasten your seat belt. The first blow is often followed by more shocks, which have a much greater destructive power.

At a stop, an evacuation will be announced. Inflatable ladders are stretched at all exits, including emergency ones. It is necessary to act quickly, as an accident can be accompanied by a fire and explosion.

After leaving the aircraft, move to a safe distance. Do not disturb other passengers and emergency personnel.

General rules for emergency landing

How to behave when landing on land

How to behave as a passenger when landing on the water surface

In the event of an emergency on board an aircraft, it may be necessary to make an emergency landing, even if the flight is over water.

In this case, the pilots will try to land the aircraft so that it remains on the surface as long as possible. With a horizontal soft landing, the aircraft will be afloat for 30-40 minutes.

The aviation security system for such cases provides for the presence on board of individual (life jackets) and collective life-saving appliances(inflatable raft). Vests are located under each chair.

If the flight will take place over water for a long time, then before takeoff, a briefing on the correct use of vests is mandatory. Usually it should be worn over the head. Dress in layers of warm clothing. Adjust the size with special straps. Do not inflate it until you get out of the cabin. Once in the water, use the whistle and flashlight to attract lifeguards.

Raft for collective salvation, as a rule, begins to inflate on its own upon contact with water. If this does not happen, use the special lever on the side of the raft.
