  Hi Les, I start plane self talk as soon as I got the tickets. For me it is counting the time to my flight. Like it's 3 more months, okay I'm safe. Then it's 1 month, and I'm still safe. Then 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 5 days, and it's stopped being safe. Like I have only 4 days, then, then 1 and then nothing. I could see how my anxiety is growing with this counting. I'm flying on Friday from SFO to Paris.

  So as your logical mind is aware, your flight doesn’t become any less safe the closer it gets! What is increasing is your anticipatory distress - the current distress you feel in anticipation of a future distressing event. The flight will do what it’s designed and scheduled to do whether you’re on it or not, no matter how distressed you feel now or on board. Your task is to accept your discomfort based on prior events (“normal, but unnecessary”) and plan to control what’s in your control - what you think and do - and leave control of the plane's operation to the trained professionals.

  Thank you, that's very informative. I am absolutely terrified of any turbulence, can't imagine what the passengers been through in that flight! In long haul flight, sometimes you want to relax, loosen up your seat belt, go to toilet or just walk down the alley for a bit and anything could happen in that short period of time; that being said, I try to assure myself that air travel is the safest mode of travelling and all the flights before and after as we speak - reached their destination safely.

  SQ321 was unlucky to have entered the eastern Bay of Bengal on the same day that the SW Monsoon arrived there as well (much earlier than average). The contrast in local conditions from those over previous months would have been significant. A rare combination of weather phenomena - these could have affected any commercial flight. Ref: mausam.imd.gov.in/responsive/monsooninformation.php This 777 flew back to SIN on Sunday 26th and arrived safely.

  Funnily enough the ‘g’ forces involved in turbulence are not that high. If you are wearing a seat belt it would be just uncomfortable. But if unsecured even negative half a g can pitch you into the ceiling, and then an instant later when the aircraft inevitably reverses to, say, positive 1.5 g, the floor comes up to meet you with far more force than a normal fall. On the 777 it is unlikely that the autopilot would disconnect in turbulence. I’ll stop short of speculating what caused the turbulence.

  Thank you ! Your videos have transformed the way I view air travel, so much in fact that this past January I was able to fly internationally to Greece through Heathrow. I never expected to ever fly across the Atlantic ocean but I did and was FINE. A wonderful experience … I won’t forget … turbulence may be uncomfortable but it won’t hurt me. Happy flying ♥️

  @mohamedmohideen8475Ай бұрын

  Well explained, the phenomenon of the G force acting during the incident. You dispelled the belief of the 6000 feet descent. But the 400 feet drop is a sudden and violent drop. Am I right saying that Sir.

• 
  @lesposenАй бұрын

  Yes, it’s sudden and scary. Do remember it’s going forward at more than 500mph. But it feels like a drop, like falling off a ladder. Imagine being on a fast moving but smooth train and fixing a light bulb on a ladder when you fall. The feeling is down but you’ve moved horizontally hundreds more feet before you hit the floor.

  @tonys6328Ай бұрын

  Hi Les, at around the 29min mark, you mention that there are 3 autopilots and it's possible one got kicked out... this isn't correct. To clarify, there are 3 autopilots on a 777, however, only 1 is ever engaged in cruise. 3 autopilots can only be engaged in a triple autoland, but again, the 1st one selected is in command, and the other 2 are monitoring. Hope this helps. Regards.

• 
  @lesposenАй бұрын

  Thanks for the clarification . I must admit I heard the autopilot info from one of those ex pilot interviews! So, to clarify, could the single autopilot temporarily be “kicked out” or at FL370 is there never manual handling?

• 
  @tonys6328Ай бұрын

  The autopilots can only operate within certain parameters. When they get exceeded outside these limits, or, pilots manually exert these limits, the autopilot will disconnect. Usually, as soon as aircraft takes off, an autopilot is selected and it's in control. As you can imagine, at high speeds, a very small input is required to maintain straight and level flight. Light aircraft fly much slower so they can be flown manually.

  Thanks to you, I'm no longer afraid of turbulence. But in this case, I think the scary thing would be not knowing for sure in the midst of it that it's "only" turbulence. Also that it lasted a whole minute - that minute must have felt like a lifetime. When I read the news about this incident, my first thought was, "only turbulence - thanks to Les Posen I wouldn't be afraid of it and might even comfort those around me." But it was so extreme, with so much damage... pretty sure I'd be terrified. I appreciate what you do, and I agree that Juan Browne's blancolirio channel is among the best of aviation incident explanation channels. Over the last year, I've been watching a lot of aviation channels, and I've even discovered the joys of plane spotting through Runway DFW. Because of all this, it's really helped normalize flying and even gotten me interested in the various airlines and aircraft. This was a great explanation - thank you!

  how much altitude do airplanes fly at? let's say 7 hours flight from Dubai to London? and how about if some one on the ground is 98% oxygen how much will it be on an airplane and do you give a passinger an oxygen if he needs but does not have a paper from the Doctor???

• 
  @lesposenАй бұрын

  Flights on the route often fly between 35,000 and 40,000 feet. On most commercial jets, passengers at this altitude will experience the equivalent of 8000 feet - a little dry but not uncomfortable. Commercial jets have Oxygen bottles on board for emergencies. Should there be a decompression, the aircraft will descend within three minutes to a breathable altitude of say 16,000 feet. Flight attendants will don the oxygen cylinders with masks to walk around the cabin assisting pax. If you have special needs where oxygen in flight might be required, then a doctor's letter to the airline should be in place as a precaution.

  The best advice i ever got for dealing with turbulence, is that when turbulence starts, start purposefully bouncing up and down in your seat. This does two things...1.) disguise the motion of the airplane (your brain isnt sure if its you that causing the movement or the plane and 2.) makes your brain say, hey this isnt so bad/scary. Next time you're on a flight and experiencing turbulence, try it!

• 
  @lesposenАй бұрын

  Probably came from someone who saw my follow up to this original video, called More new ways to deal with turbulence”. Go look on my channel. It’s not about confusing your brain, it’s about acting independent of the plane, not reactive to it.

  Excellent explanation. I felt like I'm watching college lesson thank you sir... My little summary: The takeoff angle is mostly set to 12 degrees. After takeoff, to conserve energy and eliminate the need for powered horizontal speed, the climbing angle will decrease to 9 degrees. The difference between 12 and 9 degrees gives a sensation of falling, but the plane is still climbing.

During takeoff / turbulence/ going through clouds(which normally shakes the plane) make me feel these physical sensations like racing heart and sweaty palms like I am in danger. I have been flying a lot enjoying it so much but since I experienced a horrible turbulence through hailstorm and may go arounds due to closed airport, I do not enjoy flying anymore at all. I want to go back to feeling of excitement when flying like before.
