I've been on flights where passengers go into panic mode if there is just light or average turbulence during the flight for a few seconds. Good to know the cabin crew takes safety serious but, good luck finding passengers this calm during a real emergency...
I’m one of those ppl when someone gives me a direction I forget everything in the next minute. If those FAS told me to do all that stuff I would have been freaking out
Working for a charter airline I only once had to do a live NITS briefing, we had a hydraulics failure on an old 737-200. When I walked in the cockpit with the senior FA the copilot had both her feet up on the panel while pulling back on the controls all sweaty and red, aparantly the captain too, I didnt see him though. While they were flying the engineer we took along on all charters where pressing buttons and paging through manuals. I CANNOT explain the utter deathly shock one experience walking into that. The nature was Hydraulic Failure, the Intention was to perform landing in Lilongwe, Malawi, time was quite good, more than 50 minutes, felt terrible for the pilots that had to fly like that for so long, the special instructions however was terrifying, it boiled down to that the captain was confident that we will make the runway but that we will be landing at high speed without flaps and that we may likely not have any stopping ability thus overunning the runway ending up in whatever field or buildings were at the end of it thus we were to prepare for the overun and subsequent evacuation. The NITS felt like it happened in seconds, defeniately not as calm and collected as in the video, captain also did not have the ability to waste time with checking understanding, I think he knew the senior understood, simple enough anaway. The two FAs from the back werent even halfway up the isle when the senior came out the cockpit already. So we did the whole sync watches, repeat the NITS to the senior thing, we were all pretending to be calm but the hell we were. The captain came on and he actually picked his words well, "Ladies and gentlemen emergency bla bla etc. But if it does not work out that way we'll simply go into the grass at the end of the runway and then well get out via the slides, but no need to worry, the crew will take good care of you.". Like he intended for it to sound as if we just going to floof onto the grass and jump down the slides smiling. So we prepared the cabin, sat down, did the 30s reviews, and then we just sat quietly in fear, I was actually trying to work out if my apartment was left clean enough for my family to enter should I die. We did the brace command 3 times only as per our training, the engineer flashed the seatbelt sign twice as agreed during the NITS, touched down smooth but visibly faster than usual, but thank GOD we could feel and hear the wheel brakes, no thrust reverse but there were brakes! We were decelerating very slowly, felt like forever, but both the senior and I realised that if we were to still go off the end at least it wont be at such an incredible speed and thus we would floof onto the grass like the captain made it sound over the PA. Amazingly we stopped just past the last taxiway turn off on the runway still and all was fine. The captain was unable to steer the plane therafter so we had to wai bloody 30 mins for a tug to pull the plane in but all in all success. Afterwards the copilot threw all the alcahol minis in her bag, we got off and smoked an drank the night through. Point being the training helps because its so repetitive and simple, because when this happens in real life you will likely all but shit yourself! It does not happen exactly as beautifully scripted as in training, like your ABP passengers are not really all there when you brief them, we had to shuflle people around because we had elderly gospel quire ladies all in the front row who did not even speak english, but we had 50 min so we could. The NITS may be rushed and esp. If you have 10 min like in this video, it goes by like you wont believe, only once you sit time starts dragging. In the end you must be able to follow the procedure to the T whilst also being adaptive. SCARY SHIT I tell you.
I like how the captain acted like it was just a routine thing. Most of the passengers probably didn't even understand what danger they were in. Which is only good as they wont be traumatized. Another captain may've acted like they were gonna die for sure.
A good video for crew, but passengers should remember that flying is extremely safe; I worked as cabin crew for three years and never experienced an emergency.
There are more than 100,000 flights a day. In 2017, there were only 101 incidents, totalling 399 deaths, so most of these incidents ended with no fatalities. Flying is extremely safe compared to something like driving, where there are nearly 1.3 million deaths per year
Thank you for the video, when we tell you to watch and follow instructions, the safety demonstrations before departure...it is not for nothing, even if you are used to flying: one day is not the same as another day before ...
This was very informative. I was only watching for the purpose of trying to kill some time but I am happy I watched this. Now I know what to do if this event occurs and the pilot, flight attendants, or passengets do not know or unable to comprehend instructions. I am also aware that this is not official and the procedures used and aircraft shown may vary depending on what airline and aircraft the situation takes place in.
If I was asked to help i would 1: be honored that I look responsible. 2: cry because I would be scared of her firm voice and I would forget everything she said.
My airline does NASR, Nature of Emergency, Amount of time to prepare, Special instructions, Repeat back and sync watches, the fwd calls the cockpit and beforehand there will be a triple Hi-Low chime, after the FWD recieves NASR they call the Aft to notify them, we tell pax to take off restricting clothing, we do check pax brace positions, but overall the procedures are universal
28 s is old but it’s done to their procedures which change all the time like when I was a crew member on the qf30. Things change and all training never leaves us. Awesome work 🍀🌟
...of course for all real to life training programmes it is of the upmost importance that there is a dramatic sound track and all passengers will simply comply and neither panic nor use their last moments to send a text message etc etc.
I will be traveling on a plane in a couple months and when I saw this I thought they stopped in mid air before everybody got off. that scared me half to death thinking that everybody was forced out thousands of feet above land
Good training video but your galley wasn’t secure!! Your cart clip was not latched. I recognize the emergency PA it’s the same as the one we used with GB airways.
OK I JUST GO ON HOLIDAYS WHEN I CHECK THE WEATHER Instructions for going on planes BY not saying 1.check the weather and make sure it dosent go bad 2.book ur flight when it's safe 3. Have fun 😀
S Hut they do use mnemonic devices including songs or nursery rhyme-type chants to make training instructions easier to remember. If you are ever involves in an emergency landing you know that the call to "brace" is very much an orchestrated routine since the lifesaving effects of the brace position is so incredibly profound, it literally makes the difference between a fatality and a survivor.
3 mistakes: 0:24 it is looking like the weather is bad. But at 0:30, the window has sun coming out of it. Another one is the time. It’s says the time is 10 minutes, but it’s fifteen. The last one is that it actually has an O for the zero like this: 1O. It’s supposed to be 10.
Hallo Yvonne. You are very observant. The instruction was 10 minutes to prepare the cabin, not 10 minutes until they actually land on the water. In this case everyone must to be seated by 2000 feet agl which in this case is approximately 3 minutes before the landing.
I used to be so scared of flying and I thought that if an emergency did happen I would be for sure dead but that’s not the case at all and the cabin crew is prepared for anything
