All of us, going on a flight on an airplane, subconsciously be afraid. Because one Russian writer Maxim Gorky, who told that "a born to crawl ... can not fly."
How many times, each of us, mentally or really, with his fingers crossed, felt the highest emotional tension that occurs in the passenger cabin of the liner at least twice for the flight: at the moment of detachment of the aircraft and at the time of its landing. Therefore, the explosion of passenger applause to the successfully landed bird by the wonderfull crew, for many is the final denouement of flight, illustrated our state of "exhalation" as the order: "Finally! Now - relax."
To be afraid to fly is absolutely normal. It's not normal not to fly, because "I'm afraid".
And yet, when we understand that without a flight to and fro, life will not be possible, we begin to think out ways of self-defense against the fictitious horrors of Hollywood disasters films. Someone takes a reading matter, so there is nothing more to think about in flight, others have their own way: from an little alcohol before the flight till a powerful sleeping pill so that "So it was not scary at all" ...
The words" From fate will not escape", using the fatalists and the pessimists. An optimist thinging : "I am always sure that the best, of course, is ahead." But trusting in the heavens, why You can not do something?
At least look at the flights of which airlines, when we are booking. The type of aircraft, too, sometimes has a value. One form my friends, russian military pilot, who used to fly exclusively type of Russian passenger aircraft IL-86, declaring that if he even loose his legs or he "killed himself to the death" in fly cabin crew, this bird will any way landing.
And what about the world practice of flight safety? As always, he researches, ascertains and puts everything in the ratings. The authoritative research bureau JACDEC, which deals with the investigation of accidents and accidents in aviation transport, presented its new rating of the world's 60 safest airlines, which the organization has been publishing since 1973. For 43 years, the world's largest air carriers, constantly moving up and down the list, adjusting yearly. In the ranking of JACDEC, the leaders are the ten airlines that fly for more than 30 years without incident. The first place went to "Cathay Pacific Airways" of Hong Kong origin. Dear and beloved by all the AK "Emirates" and "Qatar Airways", received the 2nd and 4th place of the current rating, respectively.
Our, the flagship carrier, Russian Aeroflot was fixed in 36 place, and this is also very good.
And what about the internal rating of Russian airlines?
About 60 air carriers are registered in Russia.
For four of them, selected as "reliable", according to the European Aviation Safety Agency, places in the security rating were as follows:
- "Ural Airlines"
- "Sibir" (S7 AIRLINES)
- "Aeroflot"
- UTair
In general, it should be noted, today, domestic russin fleet of airlines is absolutely reliable and does not cause serious concern. Therefore, when choosing air tickets, we take first - an amendment to the "reliability" of the air carrier. After that only, we are can be beginning to dig into the amenities, the type of aircraft, the time of departure and other "baggage-landing" features. Choosing a charter flight, you need to ask: Who exactly owns of airlines company?. And in any case, do not focus one airline, but choose according to needs and expediency. And we need to periodically push away from ourselves the idea that "trouble lies in wait for us around the corner." In this case at least 24 hours a day, flight is Ok!
Soft landing for all of us !
