Good to know : 1 Why the lights of a plane landing at night are off ? If the lights of an aircraft landing at night are off ,is to accustom the eyes of passengers in case of an eventual emergency evacuation. In the event of fire in one of the engines for example, it is necessary to cut off the principal power of the plane landing. Since an evacuation may in theory be done in 90 seconds, there is no time to lose with acclimatization eyes of passengers in the darkness. 2-Why must pilots make land the planes in a more brutal way when it rains? The pilots make land the planes in a more brutal way when it rains to avoid the aquaplaning. If your plane lands a little brutally in rainy weather, it is not because the pilot is bad: in the event of rain, the pilots must look forward to a firmer landing to avoid the aquaplaning. 3- Do you know how many minutes of oxygen are there in the masks which fall ? There are no more than 13 minutes of oxygen in the masks in the event of cabin depressurization .In case of depressurisation from the cabin when the plane is at its cruising altitude (more than 10,000 meters), the atmospheric pressure goes down in a brutal way and the air is emptied of its oxygen, creating unbearable conditions for the human organisms. Thus,the pilot must as fast as possible go down to 10,000 feet of altitude (approximately 3,000 meters), and he has no more than 13 minutes to realize this descent/coming down, this is what explains the 13 minutes of oxygen of the masks. 4- Cell phones not turned off are dangerous or not? yes. let your mobile phone on during the take off or the landing will not crash the plane. On the other hand, that creates interferences and disturbs the radio communications of the pilots with the controllers, who hear the same noise as when a mobile phone placed on a television receives a call. 5- Do the two pilots have different meals? It is a golden rule. The meals of the two pilots must be different ,This, to avoid simultaneous Stupefaction or excitement by the action of a chemical substance. 6- Can a plane land without any risk if one of the two engines breaks down? Yes, all the modern planes are conceived to be able to fly, and to even take off, with a broken down engine. The pilots involve themselves regularly on simulators to fly or land with only one engine.
