Sixty Second Review
The sixty second review (also known as a silent review or mental review) is a technique used by flight attendants during the critical phases of flight to focus and prepare them for a sudden emergency. Use How the silent review is performed varies according to different airlines, but the principles and the desired result are all the same. Just prior to take off, and from gear down to landing, flight attendants will be in their s in a semi- performing their silent review. This can either be a structured ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flight Attendant
A flight attendant, also known as steward/stewardess or air host/air hostess, is a member of the aircrew aboard commercial flights, many business jets and some government aircraft. Collectively called cabin crew, flight attendants are primarily responsible for passenger safety and comfort. History The role of a flight attendant derives from that of similar positions on passenger ships or passenger trains, but it has more direct involvement with passengers because of the confined quarters on aircraft. Additionally, the job of a flight attendant revolves around safety to a much greater extent than those of similar staff on other forms of transportation. Flight attendants on board a flight collectively form a ''cabin crew'', as distinguished from pilots and engineers in the cockpit. The German Heinrich Kubis was the world's first flight attendant, in 1912. Kubis first attended the passengers on board the DELAG Zeppelin LZ 10 ''Schwaben''. He also attended to the fam ...

Jumpseat
In aviation, a jump seat or jumpseat is an auxiliary seat for individuals—other than normal passengers—who are not operating the aircraft. In general, the term 'jump seat' can also refer to a seat in any type of vehicle which can fold up out of the way; vehicles include carriages, automobiles, vans, buses, fire tenders, and taxicabs. The term originated in the United States c. 1860 for a movable carriage seat. In land vehicles Jump seats originated in horse-drawn carriages. Jump seats were features of many early automobiles, but are now rare, present mainly in limousines. They are also used in UPS delivery vans. Some pickup trucks also employ jump seats, particularly those with an extended cab which don't have room for full rear passenger seats. These seats are often mounted against the side of the cab interior and fold up when not in use. In airplanes In airplanes, jump seats—which are officially termed ''auxiliary crew stations''—can be located in the flight de ...

Brace Position
To assume a brace position or crash position is an instruction that can be given to prepare for a crash, such as on an aircraft; the instruction to "Brace for impact!" or "Brace! Brace!" is often given if the aircraft must make an emergency landing on land or water. There are many different ways to adopt the brace position, with many countries adopting their own version based on research performed by their own aviation authority or that of other countries. The most common in passenger airliners being the forward-facing seat version, in which the person bracing places their head against or as close as possible to the surface it is likely to strike (and in the process bending over to some degree), placing their feet firmly on the floor, and their hands either on their head or the seat in front. Types of brace position There are many different ways to adopt the brace position, with many countries adopting their own version based on research performed by their own aviation authority ...

Mnemonics
A mnemonic ( ) device, or memory device, is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval (remembering) in the human memory for better understanding. Mnemonics make use of elaborative encoding, retrieval cues, and imagery as specific tools to encode information in a way that allows for efficient storage and retrieval. Mnemonics aid original information in becoming associated with something more accessible or meaningful—which, in turn, provides better retention of the information. Commonly encountered mnemonics are often used for lists and in auditory form, such as short poems, acronyms, initialisms, or memorable phrases, but mnemonics can also be used for other types of information and in visual or kinesthetic forms. Their use is based on the observation that the human mind more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual, humorous, or otherwise "relatable" information, rather than more abstract or impersonal forms of information ...

Escape Slide
An evacuation slide is an inflatable slide used to evacuate an aircraft quickly. An escape slide is required on all commercial (passenger carrying) aircraft where the door sill height is such that, in the event of an evacuation, passengers would be unable to step down from the door uninjured (Federal Aviation Administration requires slides on all aircraft doors where the floor is or more above the ground). Escape slides are packed and held within the door structure inside the ''slide bustle'', a protruding part of the inside of an aircraft door that varies with aircraft size, door size and door location. In many modern planes, to reduce evacuation time, evacuation slides deploy automatically when a door is opened in an "armed" condition. Modern planes often indicate an armed condition with an indicator light. Regulations Federal Aviation Administration and EASA regulations require an approved method of escape on all aircraft exits where the floor is or more above the ground) ...
