Is Parachute Operation Training offered as a part of Professional Pilot Training Program ?.

Parachutes are kept in emergencies for pilot, copilot, crew members, passengers in worst to worst scenarios.

Can this be designed also in commercial airplanes viz emergency exit doors ?.

I agree on this point that one out of one million flights happening everyday locally and internationally in every country can have a mishap of technical problems. But that one air crash which we read in newspaper/s will be always fatal i.e. survival chances of those passengers will be thin.

The Pilot gets few minutes before he comes to know that there is no emergency landing place and the only way is to jump with parachutes before air crash takes place. So showing his presence of mind, alertness he slows the plane speed, comes down to a suitable altitude for the free fall with the parachutes.


So i was thinking of parachutes on the plane where first the passengers, then the aircrew members, copilot and finally the pilot jumps with the parachute and with God's grace some passengers will be able to save their lives. It depends where they will land with the parachute.

But it is impractical because the passengers are unable to operate the parachutes ?. This is the major hurdle.

Do you feel Private Jets i.e. Charter planes hired by Business Leaders could be useful to have parachutes on boards ?. But here again the Business Leaders have to be trained how to operate Parachutes.

Note : In a Air crash, the probability of life survival is literally nil, while here the probability of survival is still there with Parachutes. The rescue action team will be available within 1-2 hours as the air traffic control has a track of the geographical (latitude,longitude) location of the aircraft after a communication link failure had happened between the pilot and the air traffic control room.

... forget about parachutes..OK? No use over oceans or other hostile environments, above FL150, above 150 knots, no use when wearer exposed to high G forces, no use in CFIT etc etc...

There are many very good reasons why parachutes are not carried!

[prashantakerkar]

Thank you.

What do you feel the probability survival life will be when Air Crash takes place ?. Air Plane explodes (fire) due to crash/dash.

Bodies Charred to ashes, even no major and minor injuries.

Now i agree with you the plane maybe over a ocean, mountain etc. It depends upon where the free fall is with the help of parachutes.

Now don't you agree this point : Probability of Life Survival will be definitely more with using parachutes landing rather than a air crash ?.

Note : Air force, Naval Rescue Team operations will be available within 1-2 hours.

I have just reviewed most of the 2012 fatal airline accidents and can't identify a single one where the use of parachutes by pax could have saved a life...not one!

The probability of a crash or fire is so low in the first place that a parachute is unnecessary. Flying is much safer than driving.

Now, if you are flying aerobatic aircraft, formation flying, or military missions or similar, you are putting yourself in a higher risk environment and a parachute may be necessary due to various reasons... but generally speaking you won't need a parachute for most types of flying. Besides, if you are flying a passenger jet, there are liability issues if you abandon your plane in an emergency and you left all the passengers onboard to fend for themselves.

If you want to go skydiving, then just go skydiving.

If an airliner is in a condition that you can parachute from it (ie not too high, not too fast, stable level flight) then that is an airliner that can be safely landed.

Thank you.

Sophisticated Navigational geographical systems are available for aircraft track in the air traffic control room. Remember, we are in the 21st century, one button push by Air traffic control room as soon as the plane is untraceable will trigger the Naval and Air force military rescue operations and within 1 hour's time the people who have dived with the parachutes will be rescued.

What are the other ways which you can think other than parachutes can save those aircraft accidents if a emergency landing is not possible for the pilot ?.

Remember we have to save the lives of passengers on board as pilot is the wing commander of the aircraft.

Planes are designed to not crash in the first place. They are not necessarily designed to survive a crash like a car.

But since you asked the question... there are some safety features implemented to make crashes more survivable:

Airbags (newer feature on light aircraft)
Seatbelts and harnesses
Fire resistent fabrics and carpeting
Fire extinguishers
Fuel additives to reduce spontaneous combustion
Crash attenuating seats
Parachutes for the entire aircraft (such as on a Cirrus)

A big one is proper licensing and aircrew training

There are many many safety standards that an aircraft must meet in order for certification. The purpose of accident investigations is to see how we can improve aviation safety. Aviation is much safer than driving.

I used to work in Air Force combat search and rescue. We have great technology and capabilities, but sometimes it is not so simple and not always possible to rescue someone within 1 hour time. It would be much easier to find aircraft crash survivors if they are all together with the aircraft after a survivable crash. When aircrew egress from an aircraft with parachutes, each one must carry personal survival equipment which is personally prepared and tailored for every separate mission and pilot by a specialist in survival and rescue, and they must carry a survival radio in order for us to locate them.

A bit of searching indicates that the OP uses these posts (and there are quite a few of them, in many different fora) to generate responses. His questions (suggestions) are then posted on his blogs together with selected responses copied from the various fora which are represented as named "experts". I presume that this is in order to generate traffic to his blogs. If you are happy to effectively be contributing content to his websites free of charge, then fine.
