The accident rate of aircraft is below 0.02 per 10,000 hours, which means that there will be 0.02 accidents per 10,000 hours on average. But flying in the sky is always unsafe. Fortunately, other means of transportation can be chosen in China, but in places like the United States, their railways are relatively backward, mainly aviation development.
The airport in any city is very big, and people in their country usually fly.

If flying was really so unsafe, the aviation industry would not have developed for so many years. Then why do people always think flying is too dangerous to sit? Many people have mentioned this idea, although the probability of an accident is very small, once an accident happens, it will definitely kill you. This view is a bit taken for granted. In fact, the death rate of plane accidents is not high.
If you are still not used to flying, you can choose to travel by high-speed rail in China, and the mileage of high-speed rail in China ranks first in the world. There is no need to compare America, it doesn't. Foreigners are critical of the safety of high-speed rail in China.
Is the plane really safe? The plane is really safe.
Generally speaking, the flight mileage of an airplane is long and there are more passengers. Judging from the flight distance and the number of passengers, the probability of air crash is actually very low. In addition, the maintenance and safety inspection of aircraft are also the most stringent of all means of transportation.
It can be said that flying is still the safest way of all means of transportation. To improve the safety factor of flight, citizens can try to choose a larger plane.

Precautions for flight:
1, be sure to go through the formalities half an hour before the plane takes off, and it is best to arrive at the airport one and a half hours in advance according to the situation, especially during the Golden Week and the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush.
2. Friends who like window seats can ask the handlers to arrange window seats for you when changing their boarding passes.
Don't bring contraband, otherwise it will be confiscated. Small animals can't be taken on the plane, and they must have a quarantine certificate to check in. Potted plants and flowers are ok.
4. The check-in certificate is usually attached to the air ticket. After the luggage arrives and is taken out, the staff will check whether the check-in voucher matches the label on the luggage. Be careful not to take someone else's and lose yours.

Five "survival laws of opportunity"
1, understand that 80% of flight accidents occur within 3 minutes of takeoff and 8 minutes of landing, and stay alert within this 1 1 minute.
2. Understand the 90-second golden escape time. Yu Min said that most flying opportunities will catch fire within 90 seconds after landing. If a very unfortunate plane accidentally lands, you must obey the command of the flight crew and leave the plane within 90 seconds without any luggage. "Asiana Airlines accident 20 13, if many passengers see the photos of the burned plane, they will be afraid of their luggage after they escape."
3. Before taking off, carefully watch the flight attendants' escape methods or video demonstrations, and observe the nearest escape door.
4, the cliche, fasten your seat belt.
For aviation accidents, fire is the most dangerous derivative disaster. Therefore, the ideal flight suit should not only prevent fire, but also cover the whole body as much as possible.
People's Daily Online-Experts teach five "survival rules of opportunity", saying that airplanes are the safest traffic workers.
Is the plane safe? The plane itself is safe.
Many people think it seems unsafe to stagger by plane, but in fact, the safety of the plane is still very high. The accident rate of aircraft is below 0.02 per 10,000 hours, which means that there will be 0.02 accidents per 10,000 hours on average. Aviation is the safest long-distance transportation mode, and it is getting safer and safer.
But the flight is usually bumpy, and it is common to encounter airflow. If it is a little stronger, many passengers in the cabin will vomit and hear someone screaming, but in fact, as long as the accident is not out of control, the survival rate of passengers is still very high.
The process of flying:
1, to the airport. Pay attention to the time, because the airline stipulates to stop check-in 30 minutes before departure, so it is best to arrive at the airport 1 hour before departure.
2. Check in (that is, change boarding pass). Look at the flight counter. The airport has a display screen to tell which flight is at which counter, find the corresponding counter, and give the ticket and ID card to the airport check-in staff. If you have big luggage, please check it here. Be careful not to carry contraband in the checked baggage. After the check-in, the check-in staff will return the ticket, boarding pass, luggage ticket and ID card to you.
3. Pass the security check. There is a security counter at the entrance of the security checkpoint. Give the ticket, boarding pass and ID card to the security inspector. If there is no problem, the security inspector will stamp the boarding pass. Then go through the security gate, and your belongings will go through the X-ray security machine next to the security gate. You have to go through the security gate yourself and enter the terminal without any problems.
4. Waiting. After passing the security check, check the boarding pass, see which boarding gate each flight is boarding at, and find the waiting hall corresponding to the boarding gate, where the boarding gate is waiting. The location of each terminal will be displayed on the airport display screen. If you are not clear, you can ask the airport service staff. If you find the terminal, wait there for the boarding notice.
Step 5 board the plane. After hearing the boarding announcement, a service person will tear up the boarding pass at the boarding gate and give it to the service person at the boarding gate. The service staff will tear off a small piece from the boarding pass and return it to you, and follow others on the plane with the boarding pass.
6. Find the position on the plane. The boarding pass indicates the location, such as 5D, 1 1C, etc. What line does the number stand for? Each row of seats is arranged in rows A, B, C, D, E and F, and the seat number on the plane is marked on the bulkhead (above the seat) where the luggage is placed. Find a seat, fasten your seat belt and turn off your cell phone before taking off.
7. Food. During the flight, airlines distribute drinks, long-haul routes will provide meals (just box lunch, which is not delicious, and the quantity is small), and short-haul routes will distribute snacks.
8. Arrive. After the plane arrives at the destination, if you have checked baggage, remember to pick it up. There will be a baggage claim area on the way out (pay attention to road signs or signs).
Safety of flying Some people will choose bullet trains and high-speed trains, while others will choose airplanes. However, some people will worry about whether the current plane is safe. Although most people have never had an accident by plane, the possibility of an accident is not zero. The following is my collection of the safety of flying, hoping to help everyone.
Which is safer, flying or taking a bus? Is the plane safe? According to the comparative study of casualties from 1993 to 1995 by the National Security Council of the United States, flying is 22 times safer than taking a bus. In fact, in the past 60 years in the United States, in a typical three months, the number of deaths caused by plane accidents was less than that caused by car accidents.
Which part of the flight is the most dangerous:
Take-off and climb to cruising altitude, descent and landing are the two most common stages in flight. To put it very simply, the requirements for the aircraft in terms of engine thrust and structural integrity are the highest when taking off, while the requirements for the cockpit crew are the highest when approaching and landing. About three-quarters of the serious accidents occurred in these two short flight phases.
Where is the safest seat on the plane?
Some people think it is safer to sit near the wing or at the back of the cabin. But there is no evidence that any part of the plane is safer than others. It is best to listen to the introduction of safety knowledge before each flight takes off and listen to the report of all crew members during the flight.
Is there any way to make aviation safer? In the past 15 to 20 years, due to the expansion of computerized flight simulator and radar coverage, and when there is an airplane in the nearby airspace, when it is too close to the ground, when the altitude or flight angle of the airplane is unstable or when the wind changes, high-tech equipment warns pilots that flight safety has been greatly improved. The aviation industry is continuing to improve aviation safety through better pilot training, better aircraft inspection and maintenance technology and new safety technologies. For example, in the next century, all civil aviation jets will use satellite navigation and communication to tell air traffic controllers on the ground at any time, which is a big step forward than relying on ground navigation equipment and radar navigation. The latter will no longer "see" the plane after it flies over the horizon.
1, human factors-the enemy of flight safety
In the past 50 years, with the continuous development of various analysis, design, testing and manufacturing technologies, especially in the last 20 years, the wide application of high and new technologies such as microelectronic devices and computers has promoted the continuous improvement of the safety level of aerospace vehicles. However, although the absolute number of flight accidents caused by human factors has decreased, the relative proportion of accidents caused by human factors has increased significantly. In the United States, the proportion of civil aircraft accidents caused by human factors was 35% in 1940, and it increased to 65% in 1990. Therefore, human factors are still the enemy of current flight safety and the main factor causing various flight accidents. The analysis of 1994 and 1995 by the U.S. General Accounting Office shows that human factors account for 73% of the catastrophic aircraft accidents of the three armed forces, of which the air force accounts for 7 1%, the army accounts for 76%, and the navy and marine corps account for 80% (1990-/kloc- The proportion of accidents caused by human factors of RAF aircraft exceeds 60%. During the period of 1959- 1992, the statistics of world civil aviation accidents caused by human factors were 73.6%.
Man-made factors involve three elements: man, machine and environment. Among these three factors, human reliability is the lowest, so human error becomes the direct factor leading to flight accidents. The main factors causing human error include driver overload, design defects, insufficient training, fatigue and illness, wrong operating procedures and lack of experience and knowledge. In order to reduce flight accidents and improve flight safety, we should strengthen the study of human factors and adopt various effective methods to eliminate or reduce the causes of human errors.
2, engine failure-the number one killer of single-engine fighters.
Just like the threat of heart disease to human life, engine failure has always been the main cause of catastrophic accidents of a single fighter/attack aircraft. Take F- 16, the safest single-engine fighter of the US Air Force, as an example. During the period of 1975- 1996, there were 88 catastrophic accidents caused by engine failure, accounting for about 40% of the total number of catastrophic accidents. During the five years from 1992 to 1996, the catastrophic accidents caused by engines accounted for almost half of the total number of catastrophic accidents in F- 16. The reliability and safety of engine has become the key and technical difficulty of single-engine fighter safety technology. We must strengthen the reliability and safety design of engines, and strengthen the accident management and the training of maintenance personnel.
Application and influence: Aerospace vehicle safety technology is an important tool to improve the safety of aerospace vehicles and reduce flight accidents. It is of great significance to national security, the development of weapons and equipment and the development of national economy. Because a major catastrophic flight accident will cause heavy casualties and property losses to the country and people. In the past 40 years, the aircraft accident rate of the US Navy, Army and Air Force showed a downward trend, from 1958 to 19 flight hours to100000 flight hours to10.5 times in/958. In the past 20 years, the incidence of serious accidents in the army has been declining, from 1975 to 1995, and the number of serious accidents in the army has dropped from 309 to 76. In these twenty years, the loss of catastrophic accidents of aircraft of the three services of the United States was $2 1 billion, from 1.990 to 1.995, and the annual loss remained above $1 billion.
Airplanes have been used as regular means of transportation (scheduled flights) for 60 years. With the development of aircraft design and manufacturing technology and the continuous accumulation of aircraft maintenance experience, flight safety has been greatly improved. Since 1958 entered the jet civil aircraft, the number of flight accidents has decreased year by year. During the more than 20 years from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, although the number of flights of jet civil aircraft increased by more than 60%, the global catastrophic accidents of jet civil aircraft remained stable and declined slightly, at the level of 1.5-2.0 accidents/million departures, with an average annual death toll of about 600. Before 1970s, the flight accident rate dropped rapidly, but after 1970s, the accident rate remained relatively stable, showing a slow downward trend. Catastrophic accidents of US Air Force aircraft have dropped from 50 times per 654.38+million flight hours in the mid-1940s to 3 times per 654.38+million flight hours in the early 1970s, a decrease of 94% in the past 30 years. In the mid-1990s, it was further reduced to 0.6 times /654.38+ 10,000 flight hours, which was reduced by about 95% in more than 20 years. The Royal Air Force dropped from 39.32/100000 flight hours in the mid-1940s to 4. 18/100000 flight hours in the early 1970s, a decrease of nearly 90% in 30 years. In the mid-1990s, it further decreased to 2.67 times/100000 flight hours, which decreased by nearly 40% in 20 years. From the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, the number of flights of global jet civil aircraft increased by more than 60%, while its catastrophic accidents remained stable and slightly decreased, at the level of every 1.5-2.0 1 10,000 take-offs. From the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, the probability of successful launch of various space launch vehicles generally remained at about 95% on average.
The improvement of the safety level of aerospace vehicles is the comprehensive effect of technical progress and management level improvement in recent decades, and it is the product of the combination of safety analysis, design, verification and management technology with various scientific and technological progress. First of all, the improvement of design technology of aircraft, engines and various safety-critical systems and the application of computers, electronics, information, new materials and new technologies have greatly reduced the failures of aircraft and various systems; Secondly, the use of various display, monitoring and alarm equipment enables pilots to know the working conditions of the aircraft in time and take effective measures to prevent accidents in time; Thirdly, the training methods and driving skills of pilots have been improved, and accidents caused by various driving mistakes have been reduced; The fourth is to improve ground use, maintenance, safety and air traffic control facilities and technologies; Fifth, the implementation and enforcement of various safety rules and regulations; Wait a minute. However, in recent 20 years, the complexity of aircraft has greatly improved, and there are still a certain number of design defects that may lead to catastrophic flight accidents, especially the problem of human factors leading to catastrophic flight accidents, which still exists and has become the leading factor leading to catastrophic accidents at present. There is no obvious breakthrough at present, and these human factors are very random. Therefore, these factors make the catastrophic accident rate of various aviation aircraft remain relatively stable and decrease slightly.
Information piece: flight precautions
book a ticket
With the development of network technology and the improvement of people's living standards, it is more and more convenient to book air tickets. In addition to Ctrip, Qunar and many other travel booking websites, air tickets can also be booked in the nearest air booking.
What do I need to book tickets online?
Original ID card, mobile phone. After filling in the customer information, you will automatically receive the confirmation information from the booking website and the specific information of this flight.
fetch a ticket
Be sure to arrive at the airport 1 half an hour before departure 1 hour to pick up the tickets and check them in. Take your luggage, prepare your ID card when booking tickets, go to the ticket office or the ticket office to get tickets, and scan your ID card to get your boarding pass.
Delivery and shipment
Is the plane safe at this time? You have your boarding pass, ticket and ID card in your hand. Check overweight or oversized items at the acceptance site. It′s on the house. Friends who board the plane for the first time should not think that it is a charge. Fruit knives or sharp metal objects are best checked in luggage, otherwise they may be confiscated. In addition, small animals can't be brought on the plane, and they must have quarantine certificates. The quarantine certificate must be issued by the local epidemic prevention department. Moreover, small animals have been vaccinated, and cages for small animals should be purchased in advance. If they are strong, I suggest you buy high insurance for small animals, otherwise they will not take good care of them. If you feel that you are carrying small animals, please explain to the airport customer service 2 to 3 days in advance and prepare the aerobic cabin.
About moving things
The liquid capacity carried on the plane shall not exceed 100ml, and only one cosmetic can be carried. It should be noted that 150ml toner cannot be taken on the plane if it is only 50ml liquid. Bottle packaging needs to be less than or equal to 100 ml, and more than 100ML can only be checked.
Boarded the plane
Take your boarding pass and board at the designated window. There will be a scrolling led display at the top of each window. Where does the plane at the boarding gate go? If the airport is too big and you are stupid, you can ask the airport staff. This is normal. Don't be embarrassed, but if you look carefully, there will be a display indicating the direction of the boarding gate. Before boarding the plane, I suggest you eat something, don't go to the toilet on an empty stomach, and go to the toilet in advance. The plane will stop when it meets the airflow. Waiting in line to go to the bathroom is too annoying. After that, boarding begins at the boarding gate.
Seize the opportunity
Your position will be on the boarding pass. When boarding the plane, you will see the seat code clearly. Seats are arranged in the order of A, B, C and D, with Boeing's label on the luggage rack and Airbus's label on the' small light' at the top of the seat. If you can't find it, you can ask the stewardess for help. An immigration form will be filled out for international flights, which must be filled out in English. If not, please fill it out by the accompanying tour guide or flight attendant.
Boring flight time
Aircraft will make noise during flight. Usually, I will bring mobile phone headphones or professional noise-reducing headphones to listen to music. One is to kill boring time, but you will get upset when you hear noise for a long time. It is suggested that friends who go to the north take a thick coat before boarding the plane. If it is cold when boarding the plane, you can borrow a blanket from a beautiful stewardess. It is suggested that snacks should not be packed with hard-skinned and flaky foods such as melon seeds. When the plane flies in the air, it may get everywhere. Of course, that kind of situation is rare, but there will still be shaking up and down. It's a feeling of getting on and off the elevator. You can rest assured that the plane in flight is very, very safe. You can't smoke or drink in economy class. When you need air service, don't yell at the waiter or stewardess. There will be a button on your head. Press the stewardess and it will come. Don't use mobile phones and other communication equipment and electronic equipment during take-off and landing. The plane will contact the ground navigation station by radio navigation. Using mobile phones will keep in touch with ground base stations, which will affect the communication between aircraft and navigation stations. What is more serious is that it is difficult to land because of the mobile phone when landing, which will lead to accidents. Most accidents are landings, so don't be careless.
Go to the bathroom.
Some toilets are in the front and some are in the back. The door display "occupied" means "in use" and "empty" means that no one can use it. Be sure to lock the "occupied" signal when you go in and tell others that you are already using it. "Flash" means please flush. Smoking is also prohibited in the bathroom.
How to deal with accidents
When the flight is about to take off or the flight has stabilized, it will broadcast the specific information of the flight, such as how to use the oxygen mask, which you can use when you feel uncomfortable, and also broadcast the escape location and how to save yourself in case of an accident. There is no skydiving on the plane, only the life jacket is under your seat. There was no skydiving because of high altitude resistance and lack of oxygen. Don't be afraid even if there is an accident at high altitude. The crew will lower the flight altitude to escape. Flight attendants and flight attendants are professionally trained and obey orders after the accident. Of course, there are basically no accidents at high altitude, and even birds can't fly. After an accident, the crew will open the emergency exit, and the long and narrow airbag will automatically inflate, forming an inclined plane connecting the exit and the ground, along which people can slide to the ground.
After getting off the plane, follow everyone to get the luggage by car. After you take care of your luggage, there will be buses outside the airport, and the routes to various places will be selected according to the routes you need.
