AIRPLANE SAFETY

How to prepare/react to an emergency on aircraft

 

• When taking your seat, count the number of rows to the emergency exit behind you, as well as infront of you, so in a crisis with a lot of smoke or darkness, you can count the rows to the exit

• If you are not actually moving somewhere, remained seated with your seatbelt fastened at all times...turbulence can hit unexpectedly

• If travelling with a small child/infant, it is worth purchasing an additional seat where you can fasten an airline approved carseat...it is much safer to have your child in a carseat than in your lap in the event of a crash

• DO NOT take your carry on luggage in an evacuation...this can slow you down and slow down others trying to evacuate

• Have your children climb over the seats in an evacuation, as it will likely be faster and safer than trying to navigate the crush of people in the aisles
