Will you be traveling by plane during these holidays? Take note because a pilot has revealed how to deal with turbulence after tourists were injured during a flight Phoenix to Honolulu, of Hawaiian Airlines.
This Monday, December 19, passengers who were going to the Christmas holidays faced severe turbulence shortly before landing, which left as a balance 36 injured, of which 11 seriously.
The turbulence prior to landing was so severe that loose objects flew through the cabin and sore to passengers. After landing, 36 people received medical treatment and a total of 20 people were taken to hospital.
“We feel lucky that there isn’t there have been deaths or other serious injuries. We are very confident they will all make a full recovery,” said Ireland.
Following this event, an anonymous rider on Twitter, identified as @CapLaloVargasassuring that the turbulence is not the fault of those flying the planes, since “they are part of nature and it is inevitable to experience them on some occasion.
What is turbulence in flight?
According to said pilot, when a plane flies through the air, it can experience rapid changes in wind speed. These changes are usually small-scale and short-term.
This is known as turbulence and there are four different types: light, moderate, severe and extreme.
“Free air turbulence is the most common form experienced by an aircraft. (They don’t know how long all the pilots ask if they have turbulence reports) all so they don’t get scared,” she said.
This is why he clarified that turbulence in the air is not seen and this is why pilots ask control centers: “Usually when turbulence is noticed, the pilot request the change of quota (to see if it’s better higher or lower, and slow down).”
Therefore, he clarified that turbulence is uncomfortable to experience and is not dangerous: “The aircraft is extreme levels of turbulence, you are more likely to slip at the airport and die from it than to die in turbulence.
What can you do in case of turbulence?
The pilot gave only one recommendation in the face of turbulence: fasten your seat belts security belt.
“Fasten your seat belt at all times while seated. The plane is designed to withstand turbulence, but your head is not designed to hit the ceiling when you go through it,” he said.
Surely in the past they have seen a plane go through severe turbulence, and some people hit their heads, today I’m going to make a thread about what TURBULENCE IN FLIGHT is and what you can do about it to get out of it unscathed. let’s go by parts pic.twitter.com/5wxmY8OiZB
