I know that the risk of being in a plane crash is much lower than the risk of being in a car crash. I was just curious if the risk for a steward or stewardess being in a plane crash was still lower (than being in a car crash).
If nobody knows how to answer, does anybody know where I could find out such a statistic?

I’ve just got off a flight from Birmingham to Edinburgh. Considering this flight is mostly overland (if you forget the Firth of Forth), it seems strange that at least half of the safety briefing is about how to put the lifejacket on.
So while there are lots of statistics about how many plane crashes there are and how safe air travel is, I would like to know how many lives have ever been saved by those yellow life jackets? I’ll bet it’s very few.
I know that that plane might make journeys over water, but I meant for global air travel overall. I also appreciate that falling out of a plane from 13,000ft is not survivable even into water (unless you are the Hoff).
The assumption is that a plane will be able to crash land into a body of water in a controlled fashion that will allow the passengers to enetr the water and use the lifejackets to stay afloat until rescuers arrive. I doubt many people have ever survived a plane crash and thought, “few, if it hadn’t been for that life jacket I would have been screwed!”

I plan to live in a beach where there is rowhouses. I’m wondering if i can land my helicopter on the roof of my house without annoying the neighbours.
don’t assume i don’t have the money. why do you think i’m planning to live in a beach house? I got quite a few millions to spend.

RaceBannonOwnsChuckNorris asked:
Sorry for any errors.
If helicopters naturally turn counter clockwise because of centrifugal, and depressing the right foot pedal is how this is usually counteracted (not counting tandem rotor helicopters, which I believe don’t have that kind of instability), does that mean that left turning is more a function of lifting on the right pedal than depressing the left pedal?
centrifugal force
Please be more specific.
cc asked:
my friend and i at work have a bet.
the question: can you take-off a model helicopter on a moving train and make it hover on the spot
my answer is: yes because its in the train and everything in the train moves at the same speed.
my friends answer is: that the helicopter will take off and smash into the back of the train
who is right?
please give your explenation
thanks
TW asked:
What are the exact steps to becoming a helicopter pilot in the Coast Guard, and what are your chances of actually becoming a pilot?
Pom asked:
I don’t plan on using it on the plane, I’m just not planning on breaking it while it’s in my suitcase.
So if I put it in a laptop bag and onto the overhead compartments will it be safe? It’s not gonna fall out or anything? Or fall out and smack someone on the head?
