Many travelers echo misinformation about airplanes, which makes them consider air travel risky, although this information is not based on any true facts, as in the following list:
Open the emergency door
Contrary to popular belief, opening an emergency door is not easy and requires "superpower," says Dan Polland, a pilot and founder of a holiday travel site, adding that it is impossible to open the doors of airplanes during commercial flights, Reds Digest. "
Window holes
Someone may advise you not to tamper with the hole in the small window, which is not in place. These holes are there to maintain the pressure of the plane.
Oxygen masks
Some passengers hold that the masks do not contain oxygen. "If the plane loses pressure, the person may lose consciousness within 45 seconds, die in minutes, and only the oxygen mask will be able to help you," says Mr Boland.
Air oxygen
Some people believe oxygen in the plane is deliberately low to help passengers sleep. "The pilots share the same air with the passengers, and if that belief is true, the crew will also sleep," Boland said.
Close the phone
Bolland says the crews' request for passengers to close the phone during takeoff and landing has nothing to do with the potential impact on the aircraft's navigation devices. All there is is that the traveler has to be fully attentive during takeoff and landing.
Discharge of latrines
Airplanes do not empty latrines in the air, as some believe, because it simply hangs on the body of the aircraft, threatens its safety and affects navigation devices. The latrines are emptied after landing.
May the toilet suck you up?
The lavatory toilet pulls the waste after it is used vigorously, but this can not in any way cause parts of the human to be sucked. The toilet is designed so that its seat is not completely closed if someone sits on it.
Air plane
Many fear that the disease will spread to them on board and believe that the air inside it is not renewed, which is not true. The air is replenished inside the cabin once every 3 minutes. Because the air is fresh and dry, it represents the ideal environment for bacterial reproduction.
The pilot has an umbrella
Many travelers believe the pilot has an umbrella and that in the event of a disaster, he will be the first fugitive. This is not true. Commercial aircraft are not designed for parachuting, and the pilot will help passengers in case of an emergency.
One pilot
The plane is not only driven by one pilot, but each flight must have two pilots on board, helping each other, especially on long-distance flights, which take several hours.
