MAKE YOUR SAFE AIR TRAVEL TRIP EVEN SAFER
When you fly on the commercial airlines of the United States,
you are flying on the safest, most efficient form of transportation.
When the rare accident does occur, more and more people survive
due to advances in aircraft manufacturing and design, air traffic
control technology, emergency planning, and cabin safety.
Aviation manufacturers, air carriers, and the Federal Aviation
Administration are proud of their contributions to aviation's
impressive safety record. You, the air traveler, play a very important
role in aviation safety. You can take responsibility for your
own safety.
- Listen To The Safety Briefing
- Keep Your Seat Belt Fastened
- Obey Carry-On Baggage Restrictions
- Wear Sensible Clothing
Fly Smart. Be responsible for your safety and make your safe
trip even safer. LISTEN TO THE SAFETY BRIEFING
Fly Smart travelers always listen to the safety briefing because
they know that every aircraft is different. The following are
some tips to ensure that you are familiar with the aircraft you
are on:
- Take the passenger safety card out of the seat pocket and
follow along while you listen to the safety briefing. Always
take a moment to review the card before subsequent takeoffs
and landings.
- One of the best things you can do to be prepared is to mentally
plan the actions you would need to take in an emergency. As
part of this plan, count seat rows between you and at least
two exits.
- If you have any questions about the safety procedures, ask
the flight attendant. Flight attendants are professionals; they
know about the safety procedures of the aircraft. FASTEN YOUR
SEAT BELT Of all the safety features aboard the aircraft, one
of the most important is right at your fingertips . . . Your
Seat Belt. In a recent study, nearly 300 turbulence-related
serious injuries to passengers were reported over a 10- year
period. None of the injured had their seat belts fastened. To
prevent turbulence-related injuries, Fly Smart travelers should
always:
- Keep their seat belt fastened at all times.
- Make sure their seat belt is secured snugly and low across
the hips. OBEY CARRY-ON BAGGAGE RESTRICTIONS
- Fly Smart travelers should be aware of what they bring on
board.
- Most airlines restrict carry-on baggage to two pieces per
passenger.
- Carry-on bags must be small enough to fit under the seat
in front of you or in the overhead bins. It's a good idea to
put the heavier items under the seat.
- Carry-on items could become flying projectiles during turbulence.
Heavy items and baggage with sharp corners can be hazardous.
- Some hazardous materials are restricted. They can be dangerous
if carried (or checked) on an aircraft. Following is a partial
list of common articles from the home, workplace, or garage
which, because of their physical or chemical properties, can
pose a danger when transported.
- Mace, tear gas, and other irritants
- Aerosols containing flammable material (hair spray, deodorant,
repellents)
- Loaded firearms
- Loose ammunition
- Gasoline and other flammable materials
- Propane, butane cylinders or refills, and lighter refills
- Wet-type batteries, e.g., as used in cars
- Fireworks and flares
- Safety or 'strike-anywhere' matches (in checked baggage)
- Paint and paint-related materials (thinners and cleaners)
- Corrosive (acids), poisonous, infectious, and radioactive
materials
- The above list is not all inclusive. There are certain exceptions
for personal care, medical needs, and equipment to support physically
challenged passengers. There are also provisions for sporting
equipment. When in doubt, check with your airline. * In the
unlikely event of an emergency evacuation, leave everything
behind. WEAR SENSIBLE CLOTHING
- For ease of movement and protection in the unlikely event
of an evacuation, Fly Smart travelers should follow these guidelines:
- Wear clothes made of natural fabrics such as cotton, wool,
denim and leather. They offer the best protection. Synthetics
may melt when they are heated.
- Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement. Avoid restrictive
clothing.
- Wear low heeled shoes or boots. (Shoes with laces or straps
are recommended. Avoid sandals.)
- Arms and legs should be as fully covered as possible. (Long
sleeves/pants are recommended.) PASSENGER CHECKLIST
