Airline Safety Tips
Many people have a fear of flying, and news about plane crashes certainly doesn’t help ease that fear. Some people try to get over their fear by being brave and flying anyway. If you’re one of those people, you might want to bring an ELT and a survival kit with you on the plane. That way, in the event of a crash, you have a better chance of being rescued and surviving than you would otherwise.
You can also follow some aviation safety tips to help ease your mind as an airplane passenger. First, fly on nonstop routings. Most accidents occur during airplane takeoff, climb, descent and landing, so flying nonstop reduces the number of times you’re in those accident-prone phases of flight. Choose larger aircrafts – those with more than 30 seats – because those are designed and certified under the strictest regulations. Pay attention to the preflight briefing and note the emergency exits, flotation devices and oxygen masks. Always listen to the flight attendants and keep your seatbelt fastened while you are seated. Lastly, keep your wits about you. Try to stay calm in an emergency and you’ll be better able to survive.
