Many of us are frequent flyers and are habituated to all the things that happen in flight. But these details about flights are sure to keep new flyers away from flying atleast for some time.
1. The headphones aren’t new. They are simply taken off, cleaned and re-packaged.
2. Due to Aut-pilot modes, almost 1/2 pilots sleep mid-flight and about 1/3 pilots have woken up to find their co-pilots sleeping aswell
3. Oxygen Masks supply only about 15 minutes of breathable air which is sufficient to allow the pilot to take the plane down to a lower altitude where there the air is breathable.
4. Flights have dim lights during landing in nights because t would help adjust your eyes to the dark and incase there is some emergency evacuation, it will be easier for you to evacuate.
5. Food that is served in the flight are different to what is served to the pilots and even the 2 pilots are served different foods incase one gets affected by food poisoning other is fit to fly to aircraft.
