What about the pilot?

skarlett:
Thanks for this thread, some people were arguing about this same thing the other day. The detailed information explains a lot

verifiablefacts:

when there is a chance of saving even a soul from hundreds, I don't think it will be a waste of parachutes or resource

My point is,passengers are not trained for parachuting, agreed but do we resign to fate when they may be a chance(even if slim)of saving some?

GloryIsaac:
Basically, it's clear that parachute for each passenger won't happen, the reasons are too much as you've rightly explained.

I saw an explanatory video about a new type of plane that would be designed to have some sort of demarcation between the passenger cabin and the cockpit. It will be able to detach from the cockpit and the wings in an emergency situation and engage in a free fall for a little time before two very large parachutes are automatically deployed to give It balance and drastically reduce it's impact on the ground or water. Also it will have large floaters deployed below it that can land on the ground and on water.
But, the challenge with this plane is if there'll be strong maintenance on the hooks that will hold the body of the plane to the cockpit and its wings, and an avoidance of a situation where the hooks fail to detach from the cockpit and wings.

Explorers:

Bro, parachuting is not possible. That plane wont be stable for that.

DanDeeBoss:
And Pilots?? I am thinking if the parachute can hold the whole plane

Explorers:


Last resort how?

Did you read the parachuting is pre-planned?

They plan when, where, and how they jump before going airborne.

There is max speed/height when parachuting and this can only happen when a plane is in a good or normal working condition.



To have a plane where passenger can jump, there must be ramp at the back just like the military and cargo planes.

When there's emergency at about 30,000ft, then the crew will ask all passengers, over 200 to pick up their parachutes/gears including passengers with toddlers/babies, and the old.

After that, they will ask them to be on a single file and move to the rear end of the plane.

Then they start jumping, where's the landing sport? Ocean, Desert, Jungle, thousands of miles to civilization.

Think about rescue operation, picking up over 200 people scattered in the sea, desert or jungle.

SEXYBILLIONAIRE:
this is my suggestion too.

eedrees:


In this case , is the pilot safe??

midnighter:
This is one thing, the other one is where to land

The thought of landing in a thick forest or a desert is giving me daymares

GloryIsaac:


I've explained this. The pilot is expected to evacuate the cockpit.

My bad... Understood

Explorers:
Airline passengers have no parachute training.


What you have on every commercial plane are people who have never used or seen a parachute in their lives.

Without a minimum of training, most people would not even be able to strap the parachute on correctly, never mind open it and land safely.

Even on the ground and with plenty of time this is not easy.

In the confined space of an airliner and in a high-stress situation/commotion, it would be even more difficult.
