11 Important Details Pilots Notice While Flying As Passengers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ธ.ค. 2024
- Hey, why’s the plane shaking?! Relax, it’s just an air pocket! You’re lucky - there’s a pilot next to you, flying as a passenger. They know much more about flights than you do, so a bit of turbulence won’t make them move a muscle. But if they start worrying about ice on the windows or sniffing the air for some reason, well, that’s when you should pay attention!
The thing is that no doors can prevent odors from traveling around. Some smells, such as superheated bleed air, fuel, or hydraulic fluid, are easily recognizable for a professional. And pilots know all too well that such scents can hint that there are some problems with the fuel-storage systems or the engine.

"Ding" Sounds 6:39
The Dirtiest Places on the Plane 7:23
Bathroom Location 8:01
SUMMARY:
If the flight is during the day, an experienced pilot always pays attention to the angle between the plane window and the light coming through. They know that any difference in this angle means that the aircraft has suddenly changed direction.
When a pilot is flying a plane, they can understand that everything's going as it should just by listening to the sounds the plane's making. A bizarre, unfamiliar sound is an obvious sign that something's gone wrong.
When a plane is about to descend below 10,000 ft, the cockpit crew levels the plane. The pilot in a passenger seat can't but imagine this procedure and go through the checklist as well.
Most frequent flyers don't pay attention to the safety information presented by flight attendants, including the location of emergency exits. Pilots fly way more than any regular traveler, but they always check where those exits are.
Some passengers get paralyzed with fear at the first signs of turbulence, but pilots don't care about some bumpy road: turbulence is unlikely to cause an accident.
When a pilot hears the cockpit crew announcing, "We're now flying through an air pocket," they immediately realize that the plane is about to be jostled up and down due to some turbulence.
Pilots are well aware of how important the passengers' combined weight and their distribution are for the plane's balance.
The sounds you hear in the cabin during the flight have their own meaning. Flight attendants know each "ding's" interpretation by heart.
Flight attendants know that you should be particularly careful with headrests, seat pockets, tray tables, and seat belts! Experiments showed that one-third of all seat belts had yeast and mold on them.
Unlike the average passenger, flight attendants always know where the nearest bathroom is.

Hey guys! Where did you have your best traveling experience?
I still haven't travelled out of my state.
Almaty to astana... Kazakhstan
Maybe port blair in india
I am also an Indian
When i was going to the Pakistan 🇵🇰
3/4 percent of the plane was empty 😅
The way he smacks the guy for freaking out during turbulence 😆
Thought that too. Too me turbulence is fun - like a roller coaster. I know not many people think it is because of what's happening but once you know about what it is you wont fear it!
Down Under Customs yeah I love it, sadly they tend to avoid it if they can
Lmeo
Lol ikr super funny
Oml I would smack him to
I love the pilot’s “subtle” eye movements 😂
TheSunnyEdge nobody’s panicking here!
You mean like 3:51?
0:10 this is indian true and his mustaches are like indian his colour brown is like indian
In india 35 - 45 years men are look like this man
Ye
And I like your hair aunty
“Minor problems,”
*cockpit explodes and catches on fire producing smoke*
Well Banana, You did cause some delays on the Taxiway😂😂
A
Off-duty pilots don't like to let people know that they're pilots.
Piloterror r u a pilot?
He won't let you know that
@@812rachit 😂😂😂
@@812rachit Actually, I am. However, I am not a commercial pilot.
Why?
How to know you’re sitting next to a pilot: tell them the story of a plane dropping 100 feet, if they slap you for over exaggerating, they’re a pilot.... or they’re your dad.
easiest way to tell they brought there own headphones and the mystery adapter fro the flight and there probably wearing bose noise canceling headphones at that
😂😂😂
Christopher Moore I like this😂😂🤣🤣🤣
But my dad is getting the milk
you dont have to know they will tell u yourself "i am a pilot"
Should be called "Reasons to freak out on your next flight"
I agree with you
Lol totally agree with you🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly that’s what I thought
I rather be blissfully in the dark except for the part about exactly where to walk to get to the exits.
Agree, in a few weeks i am going for my first time in a plane so it’s pretty scary but also pretty exciting.
I’m a pilot who flys as a passenger frequently. This video is spot on for the most part. I would have to point out that the deice fluid only tacks care of ice that has already formed on the ground. The plane has its own deice equipment while airborne but there are limitations on what it can do. Pilots will do what they can to not loiter in icing conditions.
Passenger: *scared
Pilot passenger: *slaps*
I laugh so hard😂
This is so funny
😂 😂 😂
Hahahahah
Lol😆😆😆
4:40 Right, passengers who are not relaxed should get slapped by the pilot
The dude literally slaps the other dude
WHAT?!!
What
That’s not true
Haha very funny
Like in "Aeroplane "!
I was on a plane when I was a tiny kid with my family. Our takeoff had been delayed because of some problem with the plane. The delay kept being pushed back farther and farther until people started to get sketched out and were getting off. Since then my dad has told me that my mother asked him if we should get off too. Apparently he had noticed a pilot sitting near us somehow. He told her "if he gets off, we get off." Haha
“Sketched out??”🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤔
@@westaussie965 get sketched out is when people realise something is suspicious or suspect something is suspicious.
3:00
That man: have lights
Also that man: casually walk far from the exit
Heck, I’m a general aviation pilot and I know all of these. I’ve worked for the airlines out on the ramp too.
Hopefully your knowledge might calm an anxious passenger down someday!
Admirable. 👌🏽
Hopefully you know some of this is wrong then.
Thanks guys! I want to work for the airlines again someday! Most of this stuff is correct! I’m a college student right now!
Daniel Baum How’s college during Coronvirus? And I hope you become a commercial pilot soon!
8:10 “Yup, that’s a three-dinger” 😂
I laughed when the pilot passenger slapped the other passenger when talking about turbulence.
You mean 4:39
Not funny. Kind of mean I'd you ask me
Odd, whenever I've been on a plane, there was no code for turbulence. The pilot outright said, "Sorry, folks, we're going to be experiencing a little turbulence in a little bit, so please put your seatbelts on," or something like that. I don't remember what they've said word for word, but I do remember that they informed us about the turbulence without saying air pockets in place of it.
Yeah, I was on the plane this week and all they told us is it would get a little bumpy
@@kaylin_mendez0320 I guess it depends on the airlines.
So.,are you saying a pilot always travel among the passengers on a regular basis...
They do in fact. Just like doctors!
Not always, but quite frequently. We travel as passengers for multiple reasons. Most often it is for commuting purposes, to travel from home to our base (often called "jump seating"). But often we have to travel as part of work to meet another airplane at another location, or travel to our company training center for our required training events (called "deadheading").
@@jsmith1746 oh, I see, thank you for the valuable info...
The latest away flight I was on was about 15 minutes early upon landing.
That's typical. Most companies give each flight a "block" of time to work within. They have extra time in case they have to refuel last minute to avoid storms and whatnot. If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.
I’d say pilots and experienced aviation enthusiasts understand most things. I’m no pilot but I understand all the noises a plane makes, the different dings, bank angles etc. - I’m often the one calming other passengers by explaining that this noise is the APU, gear retraction, or the powering down and up of engines during flight is normal, that circling is normal, that turbulence isn’t a concern if you’re buckled in and so on.
awesome video
You realize these facts are not true do you?
@@Monoplayz they all make sense. Jupiter approves.
@@jupiter9049 bruhhh, I thought I posted this reply last week. It's already been a month... Time fly's by. Anyways, you do have a point.
That explains why the flight attendants were adamant on us spreading out and using the back seats and not just the front and middle.
We don’t level the plane when about to pass through 10,000ft. We slow to 250kts but only level if told by ATC.
We dont look at the ice on the windows.
So many dubious facts in this video
Totally agree...
The passengers when they realise that the plane is shaking: WE'RE GONNA DIIIIE!!!! 😭
The pilot: Like that's ever gonna happen. 🙄
Why do you never show your face?🤔🤔
We NEED a face reveal!!!👍👍😆
Irene Huang yep
Fr
Yes😁😁😁
Correlating with your voice your face must be square with big eyes deep set in it. Right hopefully
Plot twist:
Bright side’s real face is 2:43
7:20 cleanlieness: It sounds to me like planes are prime spreaders of disease. Is that important?
lovely content
Some people dont know what trash is like but sure
Mistertracks yes indeed
@@kaanpleb Pfft u liked ya own comment
@@hooman2343 sure
how to know when a pilot is traveling with you:observe the things bright side narrator said and find the person whos doing it....
wow!I got four likes thankssssssssssss
You got 25 likes now haha
Most pilots will be asleep 85% of the flight. And believe me, they don’t actively look at the sun rays
Why am I watching this while I’m at the airport waiting for my flight to depart??.
A change in direction is NOTHING to worry about. We have planned routes on IFR flight plans (All airline flights are legally required to be on one) that aren't always straight because we are simply not the only plane in the sky and known weather. Those over the ocean also have planned flight paths to follow for the exact same reason. Very few flights are direct.
Me:Put phone on flight mode
Phone:Flys*
Me:Wth
Flight mode?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@turtlewolf34 airplane mode
No its wing mode
my husband flew for the Air Force for over 20 years. No matter what happened when we were passengers I never worried if he was calm. He was always calm.
If he couldn't stay calm with bullets flying around or if his plane was shot he never would have been a fighter pilot. So just because he's calm doesn't mean everything's ok.
I really appreciate the people behind so many informative and interesting things that they tell in videos... I'm sure the people would have got a lot of knowledge!! 😍
I’m traveling tomorrow but I think imma drop by target to pick up disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray not trying to get sick up in hear
Elma Lesly and masks!! mask and eyewear , sunglasses or reg. eyeglasses
take this from one in Asia - check CDC if travelling internationally 🥺
safe travels!
Im going to sit next to a pilot that way when the plane crashes i die next to a pilot.
😁
...... *my mind has left the room*
Aand now there's even more reasons to be scared of flying...
If your scrolling through the comments....
Have the best life and day!😇😇😇
Irene Huang thanks you too 😇
Irene Huang You Too😇!!!!
😇
Awwww meh sub right now
Thx
The nearest exit may be behind you. I always count the rows in front and behind me.
So the pilots aren't relaxed even in vacation. We should thank them! 🙏
That’s an interesting map of the world. Where’s Britain??😂 0:43
Guy who drew up the map was an American😂
Also, the Panama canal got a bit wider...
@@154Kilroy its a video of planes not a geography video or a map of the world video
Right, but there is actually no reason to do this. It's unbelievably easy to find an accurate map. Besides, who in the business of making maps leaves out something like the U.K. anyways? Just seems a bit odd.
:/
I always watch this whenever me any my family are going on a vacation
Aircraft engineers even knows:
1. When landing gears are down locked
2. Hydraulic pressure drops
3. Source of vibration
4. Generator takeover
5. Engine start sequence
..etc.
Just by seating/observing in cabin area😊
“Minor problems aren’t usually told to the crew to prevent panic”
Well thank you very much
Is nobody gonna talk about the way that the pilot smacked the guys for freaking out in a turbulence 😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing
Why I'm watching this video🎥 even I have never travelled by Aeroplane .
Yes an Aeroplane
Nice vlog 👌👋👍
When it was posted 36 seconds ago
The fake French fam when I saw, it was posted 2 seconds ago
CubeCat Nothing? I was just saying
Irene Huang okay
When you’re 4 months late
French Ferret This video posted 5 months ago for now.
0:45 woa raining in Africa, that’s rare but it’s possible! I love that detail!
A new intro since 2019
I really liked this video and it surprisingly explained a lot about my last flight.
I’m not a pilot but have flown enough to know everything on here by observation.
Thanks i really needed this.
4:03 lol, looks like they are talking in a not so kind language.
Yeah, they need to hut their yap.
Jillian Li It says $/^T
Как гордый россиянин, я так люблю светлую сторону, что он рассказал мне множество вещей о самолетах!
Wow I'm the first one who like the video! Because I love this channel! :D
I’m watcing this to refresh my brain on flying
Thumbnail: exists
Night Passengers: *confused celebrating*
What the fc
Thanks for the information 😊☺️!!
If you're still sitting waiting to take off you're delayed to air traffic. There's a line to take off at most major airports especially at peak times. If you're waiting to gate, you're 99 times out of 100 waiting for the ground crew to show up... Or you're waiting for an actual gate to open up. Pilots and ground crews all know this
Nr.3 is kind of right but not always
Nr.5 small buildup of ice is normal
I also have to add that the angle of flight is about 7.4 degrees and 15.7 degrees
Lesson to be learnt:
Instead of getting a private pilot to come with you, just take your phone and downlaod bright sides videos
Awesome 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Bright Side: naming things passenger pilots are "looking for".
Actual passenger pilots: doesn't care at all, just wants to get home.
😂😂
Rightt
There is no DING after takeoff for the landing gear. The first ding is a double ding at 10,000 feet to indicate we are no longer sterile. A single ding is a passenger call button. Double after 10,000 feet is call front the pilot to flight attendants. Three can be flight attendant to flight attendant. 3 or 4 with red light is a backup line from pilot to flight attendant. Descending plane and double ding is going below 10,000 feet. Thats it.
Seeing this on a flight ...wait what is this smell??
I’m going on an airplane today I’m a little nervous so this helps a lot 🙏
yeah ill remember this for my flight that starts in 10 minutes
Thanks for the information. I’m not an expert at flights anyway, but you helped me a lot!
I’m not a pilot I will choose what job I want to do with a few options.
who was follower of BRIGHT SIDE
before 2020?? 👍
Keep on doing the good work as I said I love your videos keep it up🤔🤔🤔🤔👀👀
Once when I flew or the last one I would fly. There was a delay of over an hour we were told it was a led light in the cockpit, nothing to worry about. Why an hour? While landing all the lights in the cabin went out and stayed out as we deported the craft! They had on some emergency lights. The delay was not because of a darn led light! I still don't know what happened, but after that I didn't get on another flight and don't trust when the delay would be an hour or more!! I will not get on any flight of a long delay...😲
The lights go out while landing so you can adjust to the light outside in case of an emergency. This happens with every landing so nothing to worry about. Changing a led light in de cockpit can be very importend because it can be an emergency light. All these lights will work when the lights in the cabin are out so still nothing to worry about. And it's better to have a longer delay then a faulty aircraft. While you have delay, they make sure you fly as safe as any other aircraft so be greatful they take time for your safety and just wait out the delay, again nothing to worry about.
Emeralis very true 🙂
@@Emeralis I was on a plane where the delay was to get an inspector to check if a warning light was just wonky rather than telling something important. The expert was home, in the suburbs of NYC, and as it was getting late in the day they gave up and scrubbed the flight. It was my second scrubbed flight that day! The next day I was put on an almost empty plane so flew the Atlantic in unusual luxury.
4:40 lol XD it's like the pilot as a passenger slapped the other guy!
4:39 that’s literally my mom 😂
6:52 what exactly is a boing sound?😂 never heard that in a plane for sure.
I think they litterly mean the sound of the gear beeing retracted xD
I never go airplane anymore off duty Pilot will slap me.
0:50 This cockpit animation was taken from the Inforgrafics show...
There's no such thing as an "air pocket", the correct term (or phrase) is "region or area in the flight path where is air is rough or turbulent"
I love all your airplanes ✈️ videos 😊🎉❤😂
@BrightSide so what's with all the "Plane" ✈ videos?
Are you a pilot or do you work in the industry or something ?
The first one if the plane is just normally banking then it would be fine, because the light angle would also change.
Who else is watching BrightSide on the West Coast?
👇🏼
4:40 he slaps the passenger hard and the passengers was knocked out😂😂😂😂
I feel like the Flight attendants are gonna disinfectant every seat from now on lol
Yep
They do that anyways...
Thanks . Your videos are very helpful to us
The background sound in a flight announcement is scary
Pilots don't tend to worry on aircraft, they are aware, not usually as on edge as this however. The most true one about this is the landing one, You end up judging landings and going through the checklist. You do notice off the bat if something is off.
It's really intresting 😎
My husband is a mechanic and has been for over 20 yrs. He was my comfort as frequent flyers and would always know what was going on. He would even go into the "flight deck" and assist the pilots with any technical issues. It came in handy having a Jet doctor on flight. They know the verbal codes as well
I’m a captain for the airbus a380 and I fly as a passenger all the time, I don’t go around telling people I’m a pilot to start with and also I never pay attention to any of these things, but to be honest I much prefer flying in the cockpit
0:47 Look. It looks like the money sign in the bottom left corner.
Thanks for sharing

Ok
...
**sun shines at me at the face**
**AaaAAAaAAAAAAAAaaAaaAaaAhHHH**
It has been a long time since i didnt go on a plane. I really want to see the beautiful puffy clouds!
Dawn I Nvr knew any of these
Because most of them are wrong...
I'm positive that a pilot isn't concerned the entire flight over the state of the route and aircraft. If they're off-duty, they're well aware that the pilots flying are just as capable as themselves.
You’re exactly correct. When I’m riding in the back I don’t worry much about how the flight crew is operating their aircraft. Especially if it’s a different company or airframe from the ones I operate.
The only thing I judge is their landing, lol.
I do however consider my escape route, can anticipate things such as turbulence, the “dings” and what they mean, and pay close attention to instructions and announcements from crew members.
So the video might be a little exaggerated but it’s fairly accurate.
Nobody is going to mention that the storm was literally above the sahara desert
My uncle is a pilot. I used to always come back from holidays and he asking him a million questions about planes. Also as a baby instead of "here comes the aeroplane" my parents did "here come uncle David's aeroplane"
