I get major anxiety when flying due to how little control I have.
Totally defenceless, unarmed, trapped, claustrophobic, trusting two guys you can't even see with your life. It's just all terrible.

What's the best protocol if you are involved in a hijacking?
What if the plane makes a steep uncontrolled decent in a possible pilot suicide (Germanwings flight 9525)?
Where's the best place to sit?

I'd feel much better if they let law abiding citizens carry on planes.

Me, be on flight from NYC to Johannesburg

6 hours in, some Indian starts acting up, gives the flight attendants in the galley a load of shit. Gets loud

Me, take badge out of pocket and show it to flight crew

Me, show badge to the Indian, tell him to sit down and shut up. Cite non-existent US and FAA code that give me jurisdiction until we're over another sovereign territory

Tell the flight crew to get the passenger restraint kit and notify the pilot

Tell indian he's going to be detained and confined until we land in West Africa where he'll be turned over to the Senegal Police

Ask him if sitting and down and shutting up is better than third world prison and his vacation ended.

Indian sits down and shuts up doesn't say another word

Me and family get moved to first class for the remaining 9 hours of the flight.

>trusting two guys you can't even see with your life
On a modern airliner, you're trussting three pairs of computers, each pair made by a different manufactuer and running idendependantly written software to prevent more than one pair having the same error, which work on a "vote council" system with your life. The pilot and captain are just there to make you feel better about the whole thing, but as more than 95% of all air accidents are caused by the pink squishy thing between the yoke and the seat, it's generally best to let the computer drive.

>>28349167
>What's the best protocol if you are involved in a hijacking?
Given the statistical chance of that happening to you, it would be more prudent to plan what to do if you get struck by lightning on the way to cash in your winning lotto ticket.>>28349167
>What if the plane makes a steep uncontrolled decent in a possible pilot suicide (Germanwings flight 9525)?
If the pilot points the plane at the ground it's not an uncontrolled descent. Going with statistical odds again, you'd be better off planning what to do in case you get attacked by a lion that escaped from the zoo.

>Where's the best place to sit?
Next to the emergency exit. Possibly at the back, as it's fairly uncommon for a plane to reverse in to a mountain.

>I'd feel much better if they let law abiding citizens carry on planes.
You can ignore the fact that you can't shoot your way out of a multiple catastrophic system failiure or a mid air collision. You can ignore the fact that a law abiding citizen is a criminal who hasn't been caught yet. You can ignore the fact that a law abiding eighty year old could have her weapon taken from her by a younger, criminally mided person. However, you can't ignore the damage caused by a terrorist goading someone in to shooting them at 30,000' and the ensuing explosive decompression - just to clarify, that's when the aircraft bursts just like a balloon that's been poked with a needle.

Good luck. 5000 people take the test, 100 get hired. Then if you do get hired, you'll end up working in Sullivan or Forest County hoping to hell that you catching someone running the one red light in town.

Spend the money, get act 120 certified. You easily get a part time job and it's much easier to get hired full time if you have 120. No one wants to hire you and pay you for 7 months while you're in the academy.

The total cost of the 120 program is like $5k. If it's what you want to do, get the 120.

Computers, machines, can have redundancies. If the flight navigation computer crashes, another boots up and replaces it. If main hydraulic pump fails, there is like 3-4 others.

i read your post about stopping that indian (typical) criminal on the plane and had just one thought: "this guy is HARDCORE (/allcaps)." i mean you took that plane over and they upgraded you to first class, literally just dripping out of their pussies but they couldn't do anything because obviously your wife was the hottest woman on the plane. dont even get me started on how much you make her *cum* probably i assume.

anyway i was not surprised when you identified yourself as a state trooper from one of the coolest states pennsylvania. i mean i did the math and you are the best out of every 500 people that applied because only 100 out of 5000 that apply get in which is a real statistic that is not disprovable by a search using yahoo google excite (you get the idea). and those were probably all badasses but not like you, i doubt they can say HOO AH with any authority. anyway i just wanted to thank you for your service and tell you that if i ever fly i will buy you a ticket to be next to me and "hold it down" as "they" say and also we can sing along to the excellent song "drunk on a plane". thank you for your service. thanks

Explain the 58 fatal crashes in the 2000's caused by human error vs the 37 caused by other (including weather). Pilots are the weakest link on an aircraft, germanwings 9525 is a pretty good example. At this point you're saying flight safety statistics are wrong and you're right because...?

Sure the sheet-metal pile of shit the pilot flies is reliable but the pilot even less so.

A machine can control a machine better than a person can, if performance and reliability matter most importantly, it's dumb to put a human in charge of a machine carrying 300 other humans in a fucking missile 11 kilometers in the air.

All the icbms are perfectly accurate and reliable and they needed to be and they are guided by analogue computers.

>>28350588
>doesn't know his shit or panics

almost every avoidable crash is due to this
but this doesn't mean an automated system would succeed in the same instance

take away a computers ability to measure airspeed or attitude and see how well it copes

you could make an argument to having a computer do the flying and have it do a safe return to an airport's airspace and then have a qualified pilot make an emergency landing via remote control

Just saying. Those guidance systems are ultra reliable, very accurate, designed against tremendous violence of 'ballistic' conditions and were perfected in the fuckin 1960's. I don't mean to suggest ICBM guidance computers should pilot 747s, that'd be pretty hilarious, but no.

Oh, shitty computers are no good to fly some shit Airbus from Detriot to fuckin Buffalo, but it's okay to defend the entire nation and the free world with computers designed in the 60's.

It's silly to think a modern computer would do a worse job of shuttling around a gutless passenger plane than some sleep deprived Xanax-popping baby-boomer pilot who uses nothing but the auto-pilot anyways.

thats just the thing, the auto-pilot can fly the plane just fine

remarkably so
but get some ice buildup or some prolonged turbulence or maybe a small leak in a vacuum line and the autopilot fails

but it's not like it just automatically nose-dives the aircraft
it just gets a little "off" in one way or another

Just like the ICBM program, they have humans to check for system issues and anomalies, and for controlling the operation of said machines. The computers physically control and monitor parameters of the machines, but the pilot/operator controls the computers and what they do. These systems aren't fail safe, but having both a human and a computer working together makes for a pretty damn good operation.
>>
>>28350969
>>28350967
Today's auto pilots are designed to work 'with' a human pilot so obviously they don't function that great in unusual circumstances without them.

It's not that huge of a leap to staple some extra sensors to the plane, a more extensively programmed computer and an option for remote piloting if the plane is totally fucked.

People already rely on computers for their lives if they realize it or not. A well programmed computer flying a plane cannot possibly fuck up as badly as human pilots traditionally do.
>>
>>28350018
It will NOT suck the entire passanger compartment outside out, however, it will be 100% likely to do such damage to the structural integrity that the plane will be unable to fly anymore, making those that are not thrown outside, and are able to have some way to breath until they die, a slow death caused by crashing into the terrain

Stand still and wait for a miracle unless you know wtf you're doing. You're asking so you don't. Wait for a miracle.

You're lucky because there's a good chance you won't feel a thing when it hits the ground.

>Where's the best place to sit?
There's no general rule. Depends on what kind of accident you're in. In general, structure right after or right before the wings is stronger, but you risk burning alive once the fuel burns up. (happened in more than one case, can't google now as I'm in a hurry, but there was a crash landing and most deaths were from intoxication and fire from the ruptured wing tanks.)
>>

Also fun fact: in an event of a complete loss of oxygen at height, you have about one minute of coherent thinking before your brain cuts the light out. You'll be awake for more than that, but not making conscious decisions.
This is why safety procedures always stress to FIRST get the mask for yourself, then for your kids. You don't realize it, when you're out of oxygen and you realize its too late, you're already gone.
>>
>>28351083
A&P here. None of that is true. It will cause a problem, most likely a minor one. The way cabins are pressurized is by bleeding air off of the engines and pumping it into the cabin. There are vents behind the cabin that allow air to exit. This also establishes constant airflow through the cabin. If the cabin was leaking pressure, the vents would simply allow less air to exit, until pressure was where it should be. If the cabin altitude gets above a set limit, the oxygen masks drop and everybody breathes from those.

Sure buddy! Screw most of the science experiments out there! You must be right!

>Next to the emergency exit. Possibly at the back, as it's fairly uncommon for a plane to reverse in to a mountain.

If your plane hits a mountain you're dead.
If your plane attempts an emergency landing, the rear of the plane is the perfect candidate for breaking up on impact, or pooling with fuel and becoming a nice cozy oven, or asphyxiation chamber due to the smoke.

I'd go for fore the wings, it's still a shit chance in hell, but at least I won't die in a fire.

He is right. There have been accidents with entire sections of the fuselage ripped off where the plane safely landed.
Yes some people have been ripped off by the quick change in pressure, but it's a temporary setback and one that gets fixed by the pilots quickly losing altitude. (If they don't, the plane breaks up in flight if it has sustained enough damage, soooo... you're dead.)

About oxygen, each mask has a small reserve. They're there exactly to let the pilots descend to a safe altitude without starving everyone in the back.

I am not talking about having a small hole in the fuselage. I am talking about having a 30 cm hole. The bigger the hole, the more violent and faster the decompression. Sure, he is "right" that there is a chance that a plane flying at 30k feets can have a small breach and land, but if a sandnigger goes with a small grenade or a gun and mag and shoots a few rounds into the window i wouldn't be surprised if the plane suffer a similar fate to what decompression does in a spaceship.

Exactly which part of my post hurt your feelings? You can look up everything I just said. Believe what you wish.

Also, as far as decompression of the cabin or a 9mm hole causing the entire plane to become impossible to fly, I actually laughed out loud. Planes have had huge sections of their cabin ripped off and still landed safely. Doors have fallen off. Windows have blown out. Seriously, spend twenty minutes on Google.

Nope. Like I said, you can lose a monumental amount of structure and keep flying. There was one event where an engine grenaded and severed all of the hydraulic lines, the pilots had no control over the rudder, flaps, ailerons, nothing. No gear, no anything. The only thing they could do was throttle the remaining engines up and down. They used that to bring the plane to a somewhat controlled landing, at an actual airport. Granted, a lot of people still died, but it could have been worse.

Also, you can lose a tiny amount of integrity and break up in flight. It's kind of a crap shoot.

>shoots a few rounds into the window
decompression, lack of oxygen
but no-one is getting sucked out a goddamn window
>grenade
most of coach would probably die and there would probably be a hole in the fuselage, this scenario is far more variable due to explosive power/cabin size/location of explosion
more than likely the aircraft would be able to land, but there is a large chance of structural damage

>decompression does in a spaceship
not really possible in a passenger aircraft
the pressure differential is far less than you are assuming

absolute MAX pressure differential is only around 8psi

As I said, there have been cases like that. Either the plane keeps flying, some shit directly next to the hole falls out and that's that, or the damage and shock of decompression are too much for the airframe and it all breaks up.

There is no hollywood vortice thing.

>Also fun fact: in an event of a complete loss of oxygen at height, you have about one minute of coherent thinking before your brain cuts the light out. You'll be awake for more than that, but not making conscious decisions
What height? How is this a FACT when you have no quantitative numbers?

Watch this youtube video:

This Pilot was only able to maintain awareness because he was a smoker. Smokers are less affected by the effects of hypoxia than non-smokers.

This was at FL320. Never fly without oxygen above FL10.
>>
>>28352851
Fuck, I mean FL100.

>mfw never flying above 1000ft. >_>

Also, there are a SHITLOAD of pilots that browse /k/ who knew?

ok

>>28349167
I still thin It'd be pretty dumb to shoot a gun in an airplane anyway, the noise would deafen you and even with a suppressor you still have the risk of breaching the hull or hitting someone else if there's several hundred people onboard.
>>
>>28352851
Regulation is FL 125, but use sense for the altitude you live at. I live at about 6,200 feet, so 16,000 is about where noticeable (not necessarily disabling) hypoxia begins. Not that I've ever broke regulation to test it. I love the FAA.

I've felt the effects (mainly cyanosis) at about 15,700' in a glider
>>28352887
Eh, in Arizona I usually do XC VFR flights at 10500 or 11500 with no oxygen, never had an issue.
