can an airplane land and strong cross wind?

Am I really going to need to use this barf bag?

These air Just some of the most common questions about one of the most interesting parts of the flight.

Even when they're flying down, you can notice it's way harder to walk to the front of the plane, then to the back and cabin crew.

Never lets go of those service trolleys and even when its descent time pilots still don't point the nose down.

In fact, it's not the direction of the nose but power that makes the plane go up or down.

Turn the power up and it will start climbing and vice versa.

The direction of the nose speeds up or slows down the plane, so an aircraft preparing for landing is usually nose up to slow down.

Why do pilots dim cabin lights during landing?

Seeing cabin lights go down on dissent can be unnerve ing, but nothing's really wrong.

First, it helps save some much needed energy.

It's way more important to control the brakes and the generator, then tow.

Let you finish your in flight reading, right?

If you have to leave the plane quickly in an emergency, when it's dark outside, it will be easier for you to see floor lights guiding to the exit and for your eyes to adapt.

When cabin lights are dim, do runway light patterns have a meaning.

Well, I'm just guessing here, but I think it means land here, dummy.

Actually taste start long before the runway to guide the plane during landing, and there is a whole system of visual aids made of red and white light patterns.

They let the pilot know if the plane is on a perfect path to the runway.

The ideal position is two red and two white lights, four white lights or three white, and one red means the plane is too high and four red lights or three red and one white let the pilot know they're below the perfect path.

Why two pilots sometimes dump fuel before landing.

The landing can be really hard if the plane weighs as much as it does when taking off Normally there's just enough fuel in a commercial plane, so it's almost all gone by the time it descends.

But in case of emergency, like when there's a technical issue or a passenger is not feeling well in the plane must land way sooner than planned.

Pilots have to get rid of the extra fuel immediately.

They activate a system of pumps and valves, and it flies out of the wings.

Do planes really talk to pilots just before landing?

Well, there comes a moment before landing when the pilot must decide if they're ready to aim for the rent way or have to make a go around.

Well, they're still thinking the plane can remind them to do it Already on many planes, including the popular 7 47 a mechanical voice loudly and clearly says just one word.

Next year they're coming out with a decide already.

The feeling of resting on the ground when you're still in the air is called the ground effect.

There's a lot of space between the wings and the ground.

When you're about the land, though, the air becomes super compressed and feels like a pillow.

But if you have a window, see, you can also feel as if you were floating on a soft air pillow above the ground for the final 15 to 20 seconds of dissent.

Perhaps, Hey, let me know in the comments.

Why is landing often bumping at cruising altitude?

Pilots will normally try to avoid turbulence by slightly changing the route.

But the runway is where it ISS, and if pilots have to go through up there to get there, they'll do it.

In fact, a rough landing has its benefits.

When a plane descends to slowly and floats above the runway, it leaves less room for breaking.

This could be a real problem on shorter runways, and a firm landing is always the safest in slippery conditions with rain, slush, snow or ice on the runway.

Why it descent so long compared to takeoff?

Well, getting up to cruising altitude normally on Lee takes about 10 or 15 minutes.

But when it's time to descend, the crew will often finish their service and ask you to get ready 40 or even 50 minutes before actual landing.

This is because it's not just the distance to the airport or planes be that matters here.

In most cases, air traffic control tells pilots when to start descending.

They plan it in such a way to avoid air traffic jams, especially at busy airports.

Planes can't just all land in the shortest diagonal from the same distance way too plain sometimes make a big circle around the city before landing.

Well, they call it an approach or a holding pattern, and any era foe will describe it as a nightmare.

There was nothing dangerous or wrong with being on hold, though.

Try to think of the sky is a busy highway with each plane on its own lane when they have to merge.

At some point, you don't want that, so it's better to wait a bit.

And when it's okay to land, a plane will rarely fly right over downtown, where the building's air super tall there are set paths for each runway and they mostly go around the city.

Why do they land sideways and strong cross winds, airplanes, air built in such a way as to withstand strong cross winds?

But passengers don't feel comfortable, to say the least, when a plane starts uncontrollably shaking, approaching the ground.

Landing in such weather conditions require some serious skills from pilots, and that's a maneuver.

They start practicing as soon as they begin flight training.

Crabbing in Pilot's Lang means pointing the nose of the plane right into the wind.

At this moment, the aircraft is moving sideways, much like a crab.

The angle of the nose to the speed and direction of the wind does make change in a matter of moments in gusty conditions.

When the runway eventually appears from beneath a thick layer of clouds, it could be way off to the left or to the right of the notes.

So when the plane approaches the ground, they have to change technique from crabbing to slipping.

That means adjusting the plane parallel to the runway, tipping the wings into the wind the way it should be in normal conditions.

Even the most experienced pilots sometimes can't handle extreme cross winds and go sideways on the ground before going back up for a second attempt.

So when winds air really too bad, the safest option is to delay the flight altogether.

Thunderstorms, snow and fog all reduced visibility and make safe landing a challenge.

In general, pilots need at least 1/2 a mile visibility to complete the flight.

When it's lower than that, the airport must have special equipment to guide the plane to the ground.

It includes special lighting along the runway, visibility, measurement gear and radio navigation called the instrument Landing system.

When it's foggy, air traffic controllers basically become the extra eyes for the pilot and guide them through every tiny step of landing.

Well, it's there for your convenience, but I don't think you really need it.

On the other hand, I get it wrong a lot, so be prepared.
