Three simple rules |
|
|
|
There are three simple rules to make smooth landings. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. |
|
The great landing |
|
|
|
Everyone already knows the definition of a "good landing" is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a "great landing". It's one after which you can use the plane another time. |

Superior pilots |
|
|
|
Superior pilots stay out of trouble by using their superior judgment to avoid situations that would require the use of their superior skills. |

Don't forget the beer |
|
|
|
During a particularly rough flight, the airliner pilot addresses his passengers: "The turbulence we passed through was rough, but we have passed that now. The rest of the flight is expected to be smooth." The pilot was unaware that his PA switch was stuck on, and leaned over to the co-pilot and said "Boy, was that rough! What I need now is a hot woman and a cold beer." A flight attendant in the rear of the aircraft heard this, and ran forward to warn the pilot. As she neared the cockpit, an elderly woman passenger stopped her saying "Don't forget the beer!" |

This is your captain speaking |
|
|
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I regret to tell you that the aircraft is on fire, and we are about to make an emergency landing. Now there is absolutely nothing to worry about. I would like you all to remain seated, with you seatbelts fastened, until the aircraft comes to complete stop, ant then leave via the emergency exits. If you haven’t already read the leaflet in the seat pockets in front of you, I suggest now would be a good time. Oh, and by the way, you should have ninety seconds to get out. Look, I know there 450 of you back there, and ninety seconds may not seem too long, but it can be done. If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you that when this plane was built they got 450 people out of the factory and sat them down where you are sitting, and then shouted “fire”. They all got out with in ninety seconds, otherwise the FAA would never have given this thing a license. Okay, so there was not any real fire, and maybe they could use all the exits, but they did not have your motivation, now did they? I suppose some of you must be wondering what happens if you do not make it in ninety seconds. Yes, well, I’m glad you asked that question. You may have noticed that there is quite a lot of plastic in this airplane, and your seats are filled with polyurethane foam. Now it does not burn very easily, but I have to tell you that when it does catch fire it gives off rather a lot of smoke and a few gases. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide; stuff like that. It does get a bit hot, too. About 1000 degrees Centigrade after two minutes, if you really want to know. So if I were you I’d tried to make it in ninety seconds. Just a couple of other things you ought to know. About your duty-free purchases: I expect most of you have got bottles of whisky and brandy in the overhead lockers and we’ll just have to hope those bottles don’t break, won’t we, because boy does that stuff burn! And then there are your clothes. I noticed most of you were wearing some when you came on board, which is a bit of a pity, really. There is nothing like a good woolen suit for generating hydrogen cyanide when fire really gets going. Now if you seat tight I’m going to try to get this thing on the ground with out breaking anything. And, er, in case I don’t get another opportunity, thank you for flying with our air company. Fictional, of course, but those are the odds which face a passenger unlucky enough to be caught in an in-flight fire. Time is the vital factor. If the fire cannot be traced and extinguished by the crew, and fairly quickly at that, the aircraft has to be landed as rapidly as possible. Once on the ground, hopefully intact, evacuation must be immediate and swift before smoke and gas snuff out the lives of all on board. Many have died because they did not get to the emergency exits in time.”

Brain in 'off' mode |
|
|
|
The whole crew except the fresh 20 year old stewardess are in the lobby of the hotel at pick up time. The captain asks the Purser to call the new girl and ask why she's not down on time? So the Purser calls the girls room and says: 'Why are you still in your room, it's pick up time...' The girl replies that she cannot get out of her room. The Purser says: 'well, what's wrong, is the door stuck?' The girl replies: ' no... there are three doors in my room. One goes into the bathroom, the other goes into the closet.' Finally the Purser asks: 'well, what about the third one ?' The girl answers: 'That door has a DO NOT DISTURB sign on it...' |

Hard landing |
|
|
|
An airline pilot hammered his ship into the runway really hard on a certain flight. The airline had a policy which required the pilot to stand at the door while the passengers exited, give a smile, and a 'Thanks for flying XYZ airline.' Due the bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, expecting that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said: 'Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?' 'Why no Madam,' said the pilot, 'what is it?' The little old lady asked: 'Did we land or were we shot down?' |

A short tube |
|
|
|
This one happened at a Navy training squadron. After landing, the new pilot wrote a technical complaint about the A-7 that he had just been flying with. “Pilot relief tube too short.” (The pilot relief tube is a device that allows a male pilot to relieve himself in-flight after he has been drinking too much coffee before climbing into the cockpit for a long flight) When Maintenance investigated the complaint, they found that the relief tube was tangled around the base of the stick. After the problem was corrected, the pilot's ego was damaged considerably by signing off the maintenance form like this: “Pilot relief tube found to be of sufficient length for technical personnel.” |
