Holiday Ayo - If you fly a lot, seeing a flight attendant give instructions before a flight is a familiar sight. But as an airplane passenger, are you one of those who listen to the instructions?

In fact, the instructions shown by the flight attendant on the plane are important, you know. Instructions made before the plane takes off or take off can also be useful for the safety of airplane passengers.

The purpose of the instructions given by flight attendants is so that we know what to do when something unexpected happens. So, it's best when you get on the plane, you pay attention to what the instructions are given by the flight attendant.

So that you know better, the following is a description of the instructions given by the flight attendant before the plane takes off, as reported by cnnindonesia.com.

1. No Smoking

The flight attendant will say the flight is smoke-free. In addition to being harmful to health, the threat of smoking in a closed room such as on an airplane will be even greater. Smoking on airplanes can also be a safety hazard.

2. Prohibition of Activating Cell Phones or Electronic Devices

Airplane passengers are asked to turn off their cellphones or other electronic devices when the plane takes off. You can also turn your phone into airplane mode. Cell phones that are active when the plane takes off have the potential to interfere with the pilot's communication with the ATC (air traffic controller).

If radio wave signals from cell phones interfere with pilot communications, undesirable things can happen to the aircraft. Therefore, the flight attendant also reminded this when giving instructions.

3. Upright Airplane Seats before Takeoff

The flight attendant will ask the passenger to close and lock the table in front of the seat. Then, you will also be asked to straighten the plane seat before takeoff or take-off.

4. Information on How to Wear a Seat Belt

The flight attendant will give instructions on how to wear a seat belt, because sometimes there are passengers who forget or have difficulty wearing them. Seat belts on airplanes for small children and adults are different. Passengers are permitted to remove their seat belts when the seatbelt light in the cab has been turned off.

5. Information on How to Wear an Oxygen Mask

Oxygen masks are essential in an emergency. The flight attendant will teach you how to wear an oxygen mask. The oxygen mask will automatically exit from the top of the passenger seat if the pressure in the cabin exceeds the specified limit.

If that happens, passengers are asked to withdraw the oxygen mask and put it on immediately. After that, you can only help people near you (either children, spouses, parents, friends, or other people) to install oxygen.

You are asked to use oxygen first so you don't run out of oxygen so you can help others. After putting on the oxygen mask, you can also make sure the seat belt is still properly attached.
