Critical Information: The Passenger Safety Briefing

[@barbarahudgins9945]

Two stories: 1) Found a body in about 30 ft. of water in a lake. Student pilot hit power line in a Ce150. The only thing wrong with him was, he had a small delta-shaped dent in his forehead. I'm sure if he was conscience he could have saved himself. I hope in a crash I would remember to yell, "Protect your head!" 2) Pilot in a float Beaver caught a wingtip on takeoff. All seven people got out, amazingly no fatalities. Pax credited a great safety brief, including the pilot taking time to show how the doors worked and getting the nearest pax to actually operate the door handle. I have surely added that one!

FAA guy has some intense eyes!

Parachute Medical They’ve seen a lot I guess 👀, or weird genetics lol, dually noted though

[@jondrew55]

But which eye is looking at you?

[@TheMattc999]

@@jondrew55 the one that's not looking at me..... Sorry, I couldn't pass up the opportunity.

[@MarvinStroud3]

That Diamond has a Cessna microphone and elevator trim.

[@rickkimball6125]

I noticed that too. It also has a Cessna Master and Avionics switch.

[@Alex-us2vw]

The seatbelt airbags are amazing and such a cheap retrofit for what they bring to the table. The way the lapbelt inflates to literally fill up the entire passenger cabin forward of the passengers. Much better than the alternative of an encounter with the instrument panel.

[@azcountry6064]

Where did you get them? Is that something that is easily retrofitted? Or, does it need to be professionally installed.

[@prorobo]

I love how all of these videos always show the newest and latest and greatest components in newer aircraft. Not like the 1979 Tomahawk I've been flying!

[@dryan8377]

Now that's a real time builder. Good for training to learn the characteristics of bigger aircraft. They don't call it the Trauma-Hawk for nothin! :^)

[@RonPiggott]

When I see them talking about possible safety equipment as a passenger what would help me is a laminated list of safety equipment. A picture on the left side and the 6 - 8 steps for how to use it. Also having 3 - 4 copies of this on board spread throughout the plane so in the event of an accident one may be at head and used.

[@cturdo]

ALWAYS do a passenger briefing, even if the passenger is a pilot. It shows that you are paying attention to the well-being of your passengers and that you have high standards for yourself as PIC.

[@emmo_93]

"while the Hobbs meter is ticking" I give my briefs before I switch the masters on

[@parachutemedical6818]

as a poor pilot, I don't turn that master on any longer than I need to (while still being safe for checks and run up's). I'm sure not going to let it roll around and around while chatting up the family on a brief!

[@nikiyen6]

That NTSB guy is intense

[@azcountry6064]

Excellent video

[@erictaylor5462]

7:20 There is one item that, as a non-smoker, I would never have thought to include. A carton of cigarettes. After a forced landing the last thing you want to have to deal with is a smoker who is going through a stressful event who has nothing to smoke. Just make sure they understand about the possibility of spilled fuel in the area.

[@dryan8377]

Brilliant thought. Another thing I've noticed in a lot of these types of cross country accidents.. is people being stranded in freezing conditions and they're wearing shorts and flip flops???? jeez!

[@emmo_93]

Also when I get asked "do you have parachutes?!" yeah BRS ;)

[@brennakoeppen7629]

E_m_m_o Yeah, I've always loved the Cirrus I fly for that. It's extremely reassuring for a student pilot like myself to know that not only do they have a professional sitting beside them, if they're solo or the situation is THAT bad, they've got a parachute right there. Sad how the Cirrus got (and still gets sometimes) so much hate for the CAPS. If your plane has a BRS, I know you're on my side on this one :)

[@NicholasLittlejohn]

"Now I'm planning on an accident.."

[@tennicktenstyl]

just dreaming about becoming a pilot and this is just adding things to my to-do list. especially that I want to fly with my girlfriend, I will give her a couple of lessons in flying just in case there is an emergency, make sure we have all the safety gear and stuff I mean, having a handbook with all the necessary information, how to use the radio, how to find help, and also a quick guide on flight instruments is critical in my opinion. maybe even the most critical information like stall speed and just how to keep the plane in the air just taped to the panel and blankets, food, survival kit is also a good idea..

[@rickkimball6125]

Just a suggestion, but I would take your girlfriend (or anyone who may fly alot with you) out to the plane one day and go over everything. Don't fly, just have her do the walk around with you, sit in the cockpit and review how the flight controls work, how the radios work, how to trigger the ELT, where the fire extinguisher is, etc. My CFI did this the second lesson I had with him...he made me see/touch/explain all of the key components of the plane, particularly the safety equipment. It was invaluable.

[@hempelcx]

That's an awesome suggestion.

[@paulg.5511]

Dress like you're gonna have to walk if there's any trouble.

[@rickkimball6125]

100%. Even in the middle of summer I don't allow any passenger to get in the plane with open toe shoes. I also try and make sure they have a long sleeve shirt or light jacket, at least. If they didn't bring it, I have an extra in my flight bag. I ride a motorcycle and I've been stranded before, without proper gear/attire. I learned my lesson.

[@eds.173]

Regarding the PLB, can it be activated in the air while "flying into the crash..."?

[@apburner1]

While the Hobbs meter is ticking? Fuck me running, not a chance I'm paying for a briefing.

[@rontourage7384]

apburner1 it's cheaper than X-rays!

[@MrAdamNTProtester]

If you are going over water you should always have an inflatable life raft & also a flare gun generally... whistle or horn also good way of alerting people where you are- I assume everyone has ferro rod & striker & knows how to light a fire & set simple traps for fish & small game... don't forget the REAL paracord not the fake type... there should be at least the bare min of survival tools for processing wood & building shelters. Stay Safe Everyone!

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

I always reserve to Exit door seat and get briefed. so I asked the question: out on the wing calling out so people could follow my voice, what do I have to HOLD ONTO?? (the flight crew said" "No one ever asked us that question before". I thought a handhold off the fuselage would be a good idea. esp. if I'm in the water or the wing is tipped!! be prepared, Boy Scouts.

[@eds.173]

Good video. However just can't see passenger remembering much about turning on the panel radio. I can understand the importance but might be information overload. Maybe better to have it on the written passenger safety briefing with some illustration and just say to refer to that.

[@roger201288]

been told that kicking at the doors/windows isn't a good idea because injury can occur in various ways. Use the fire extinguisher first to break windows open and if that doesn't work then start kicking

[@hempelcx]

Reasonable argument. On the other hand, many passengers may not have the upper body strength/mobility to swing a fire extinguisher inside a cramped/crashed cockpit. I keep a spring loaded window punch in the passenger door pocket.

[@roger201288]

@@hempelcx damn good planning

[@eds.173]

Passenger in a Super Cub that nosed over on off-field landing. Kicked window open without thinking twice. Panic, claustrophobia? Not sure, just wanted out of there!

[@alk672]

She forgot to mention how to operate the flight controls. You know, in case she gets incapacitated or something like that.

[@kennethiman2691]

Don't make the mistake I made. Had a bottle of Burbon in my rescue bag and no shot glasses.

[@deanfowlkes]

[@BruceArtwick]

After that sort of briefing the girl gave in the example, I would probably refuse to go flying. The items themselves are all correct, but put in such a manner, that as a normally non-flying passenger I would be intimidated to death.

[@engineeringdesignteam]

Next time you ride in an airliner try to listen to the passenger briefing as if it's the first time. I would say that this is no more intimidating than that.

[@Direwolf56]

If a passenger can't handle a safety, how are they going to handle an actual emergency? Not everyone needs to be in an airplane.

[@rickkimball6125]

@@Direwolf56 Exactly. Or better yet, how will they react in turbulence? IMC? I try to do some briefing before we get out to the plane...and if they are iffy, i try to talk them out of getting in the plane. I don't need a panicky/screaming passenger.

[@MobiFlight]

I like the SAFETY briefing: Seatbelts, Air and Heating, Fire Extinguisher where, Emergency Exit how to, Traffic that you see and Talking during the flight, Your Questions.

[@TroyVan6654]

Then don't fly GA. On a commercial flight, there are a lot of personnel trained in emergency procedures on hand to help you. In a GA plane in an emergency, you may be required to help yourself, since the pilot may be incapacitated.

"....and if we were to crash-land and the doors jam you can try kicking out the windows." Me- "Ok cool. How do those doors open again?" Pilot- "words and stuff." Me- "Ok, cool, thanks (headimg towards door). I'll see y'all when you get there, I'm just gonna go ahead and drive." ✌️👣👣👣👣👣

[@PatHaskell]

I hope the FAA guy had his Thyroid checked shortly after this was recorded.

[@FSEVENMAN]

I've been flying my whole life, I've never heard anything like this before on any of my flights, I think this is a bit unrealistic or a least not true to the norm....

[@hempelcx]

I think the point is they know it isn't the norm and they think it should be (because research suggests it should be.) Thus, the training video.
