While on the plane, if you're ready for takeoff, already feeling a little uneasy, and hear the infamous plane ringing just before you leave the ground, it may make you even more unsettling.
However, one pilot reassured the nervous flyer that these noises were no need to worry, part of the plane's procedure and parcel, indicating that in fact everything was about to plan.
Captain Steve joked that they weren't “random dents,” and said there was a “purpose” behind them.
He said: “I intentionally ring the flight attendants three separate times. For the first time, when we're taxiing, we can hear “The flight attendants are ready for departure.” ”
Steve continued: “Now after that, I was cleared for takeoff and when I took off and I was cleared to go to the runway, please do not turn on and off smoking signs.
That Ding is a “final warning” as it may be safe to take off as the plane will have to “take a seat” before it takes off.
Steve then said he was giving another ding to let him know that he was “safe to start service” as he was climbing past “10,000 feet.”
This is usually just before the passenger's seatbelt signs are turned off, but this depends on whether the plane is experiencing turbulence at this point.
He also gives another ding as they prepare to land.
That happens when they're coming “back to 10,000 feet” and the plane is approaching the destination airport.
In this way, they know that “it only takes a few minutes to clean” before landing, and they can go through the cabin in bin bags to ensure that everything is organized.
However, people are confused in the comments, complaining that there is no “special ding button” and is the same as the “seat belt sound.”
Another pilot replied: “Most aircraft actually needed it years ago, so most aircraft don't have smoking signs. Smoking is illegal now, so it's not really necessary, but it costs a lot of money.
Someone praised Captain Steve's video and said, “Everything you explain in these videos is what I've always wondered, and I feel much better now.
One mother joked: “I told my son the first time I flew and every time someone farted, it rang out. Lol.”
