What do they say when the plane is about to land?
To indicate the landing clearance or final approach, the Captain will either make the following announcement and/or blink the No Smoking sign. “Flight attendants, prepare for landing please.” “Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing.” It may be followed by an announcement by a flight attendant.
What is the procedure to respond to an in flight engine failure?
Fly the airplane as you immediately apply full carb heat (if carburetor equipped) and/or check fuel on both or switch fuel tanks, hit fuel boost or pump, and mixture full rich. Point it toward a landing site. Establish best-glide airspeed. Next, if you’ve got enough altitude, which equals time, confirm the failure.
What action should the pilot take if engine failure occurs at altitude?
What action should the pilot take if engine failure occurs at altitude? A) Reduce cyclic back stick pressure during turns. B) Lower the collective pitch control, as necessary, to maintain rotor RPM. C) Open the throttle as the collective pitch is raised….5.3.7.4.4.A.1.

When does a pilot call Mayday?
Mayday is the word used around the world to make a distress call via radio communications. Mayday signals a life-threatening emergency, usually on a ship or a plane, although it may be used in a variety of other situations. Procedure calls for the mayday distress signal to be said three times in a row — Mayday! Mayday!
Why do pilots put planes on autopilot within seconds of taking off?
To lessen the fear of passengers, pilots don’t want you to know that in the cockpit, they put the plane on autopilot within seconds of taking off. That’s because modern computer technology in the cockpit makes the pilots feel unnecessary. The computer is such an integral part of the flight that it doesn’t need human intervention.
If the plane got struck by lightning, the pilot would never use the intercom to tell passengers that. Instead, the pilot would appease them by saying the flight is proceeding normally. Some of what they do in the cockpit violates protocol, so those are things they won’t share too.
How do pilots know the weather before landing?
Pilots will get this on the ground before calling the ground frequency to taxi to the runway as well as in the air before calling into a control tower to land. This lets air traffic control know that the pilot already has knowledge of the current weather conditions. This automated broadcast includes the wind speed and direction.
What phrases do pilots use to get the point across quickly?
They use phrases that get the point across very quickly and without confusion. 1. “Line up and wait” This phrase is used when an aircraft is holding short at a runway waiting to take off. The controllers will tell the aircraft to move onto the runway and wait until they have full take off clearance.
