In the previous installment of this two-part article , AeroTime took you through the initial stages of a routine commercial flight, from the pre-departure checks carried out by the pilots and cabincrew, to what is happening outside the aircraft, and from engine startup to taxi and take-off.
Before departure Once you are onboard and safely seated, there will already be a rush of activity going on in the cabin around you. With all ground personnel off the aircraft, you will hear the familiar call over the aircraft’s public address (PA) system: “ Crew, arm the doors and cross-check ”.
There were two flight crew, two cabincrew, and 58 passengers on board when the aircraft, an ATR 72-212A (ATR 72-500) departed Coronel Adalberto Mendes da Silva Airport in Cascavel. Both pilots were very experienced, each with over 5,000 hours of flight experience. The flight crew confirmed SANPA.
The report shows that the real risk is for the cabincrew. The pilots enter a four-digit code into the transponder, which might be assigned by air traffic control to identify that particular aircraft or might be a general code showing what type of flight it is. Anyway, the seat belt light appeared. Stay safe folks.
Who retains final authority over the human single pilot AI, a ground pilot, or the PIC on board? B747-8i, B737, MD11 Contributing Writer AI-powered system could be trained to assist in the cockpit and even land the plane in extreme emergencies, such as pilot incapacitation. To most professional pilots this may seem far-fetched.
Damp Lease is which the lessor (owner) provides the aircraft, maintainence of the aircraft and flight crew. However, cabincrew and insurance will not be provided. The airline that is leasing the aircraft will provide its own cabincrew and will be trained before being allowed to work on these leased aircraft.
The history of Japanese aviation This history includes the cabincrew uniform of various airlines. Descending was also quite turbulent with gusty winds happening during our descent and approach into HND airport but luckily for us, it didn't cause any disruption to our flight (flight diversion).
Southwest Airlines will alter landing procedures from December 2024, in an effort to reduce injuries sustained by cabincrew members during turbulence, according to an internal memo. At 18,000 feet, the Pilots will make one high-low chime, indicating the start of sterile flight deck. “At
The cabincrew generally was nice and I interacted with one asking her what she thinks about this aircraft and from her response she wasn't enthusiastic about working on it and I can understand why. On this flight, there were 3 flight crew which probably means one of them was undergoing training. The city view of Singapore.
The Captain made his announcement and informed us about some whether ahead of us especially during take-off and we can expect some during our descent. By then the aircraft started its descent when the cabincrew were released from their seats. We finally broke out of the clouds when we started our descent into Athens.
My question is isn't the boarding pass enough to verify my seat assignment and any other information the staff or cabincrew needs. Announcement was made in both Japanese and English and the pilots gave us an update on our flight during cruising. I like the interior of the cabin, finding it to be comfortable and cozy.
The view of the cabin after meal service was completed. The cabincrew's seats during take-off and landing. Photos of the rear cabin including the lavatory The cabincrew's workspace. There are 2 lavatories located at the rear of the aircraft and 1 lavatory located at the front of the cabin.
Once on board, I noticed a cabincrew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). At this point we started our descent and we can feel the wind shaking our plane quite a bit especially at a lower altitude. That's a good idea!
Cabincrew came around to do the BOB (Buy On Board) service and this time, we noticed someone ordering water and wasn't charged so we did the same. Finally before started our descent, our female Captain came on and updated us on our arrival and weather update and with a prediction of light turbulence during our approach.
What else I noted about this flight is the cabincrew made a birthday announcement wishing a 17 years old passenger, a happy birthday (I wonder whether she received anything from the crew - SQ does offer birthday cakes but you need to request in advance) and our first officer on this flight was a female.
The cabin was run by the chief purser and four cabincrew. When he escorted the two passengers to the aircraft, one of the cabincrew gave him a cup of coffee and wished him a nice evening before they closed the doors again. In the cockpit were three flight crew: two pilots and a flight engineer.
second duration likely caused the injuries to crew and passengers. The incident was attributed to the swift transition between climb and descent and not the actual change in altitude. The rates of climb and descent were not excessive, being only half of the typical rates during normal take-off and descent. to positive 1.5G
During our descent to CPH, there was a sudden and noticeable increase in altitude, and the cabincrew announced that our landing had been aborted. Yes, thats an extreme example, and that was a close call, and the Southwest pilots did a stellar job. Why could traffic cause go arounds?
I find it strange that LATAM does not offer WIFI on their aircraft at that time, maybe in the near future, but their entertainment system is descent. As for the cabin, it is very basic, no IFE system or WIFI maybe that's why the airfare is cheaper. I was able to enjoy a couple of movies on these relative short flights.
In July 2024, Air Europas Boeing 787 Dreamliner made a sudden descent over the Atlantic Ocean, injuring three passengers and one crewmember. In August 2024, a Korean Air A330 ran into turbulence, injuring 10 passengers and four cabincrew.
Since these aircraft were already installed with Aeroflot's cabin interior and configuration, the Indian airline decided to make some minor changes and that also means the airline didn't have to wait long to take delivery of the 6 aircraft. With a light load in this cabin, I went to explore some of the seats.
