BE MINDFUL! What to do in an Airplane Emergency

The likelihood of encountering an aviation emergency is extremely low. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), fatal accidents are decreasing each year.

However, flight crews remain first and foremost safety professionals. Preparation is essential for keeping passengers safe in any situation.

Emergency training is both a lifesaving skill and an FAA requirement.

At HRD Aero Systems, we provide technical training sessions to ensure that your crew has the knowledge and hands-on experience they need in the event of an aircraft emergency.

Flight attendant and crew training is a thorough process that prepares you for any emergency.

There are numerous factors to consider when ensuring the safety of your crew and passengers.

Here are some important tips to remember during an in-flight emergency:

A) Pre-Flight Preparation

Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting out, it’s critical to approach each flight with extreme caution and attention to detail.

Each aircraft, crew, and group of passengers is unique. Consider the specifics of each flight, such as its origin and destination, flight duration, and external conditions.

This information will be useful if you require assistance from the ground during an emergency. 

Take some time to refresh your memory on emergency procedures. Make sure you understand where important equipment and emergency exits are.

B) Be Mindful

Simple awareness can lead to greater safety and survival.

By remaining vigilant both before and during an emergency, you increase your chances of making the right decisions and taking quick action.

Keep an eye out for potential problems as soon as you board the plane.

Determine which passengers can help in an emergency and which may require assistance. 

Passengers and other crew members will detect your energy. If you project calm during an aircraft emergency, you can avoid panic and allow everyone to follow proper emergency procedures for safety.

C) Frequent Training pingbacks

During an emergency, a lot will be going on. Using the skills you learned in training will help you stay focused on what’s important in the midst of chaos.

Follow the emergency procedures and guidelines you’ve practiced numerous times.

Remember to prioritize everyone’s safety, including your own—you can’t help others if you can’t help yourself!

Keep in mind that you’ve prepared for situations like this, so you’ll know what to do.
