This document provides guidance on brace for impact positions for passengers and crew during emergency landings or crashes. It recommends that passengers place their head in their lap and grasp their legs or wrap their arms under their legs to reduce flailing. For high-density seating, passengers should brace their head against the seat in front. Pregnant women and those needing assistance should take the same positions if possible. Flight attendants should brace with their chin on their chest while holding seats or restraints. The positions aim to reduce flailing and secondary impacts through prepositioning the body against surfaces it may strike.

Neck and back pain are common issues for helicopter and fighter pilots due to poor posture, whole-body vibrations, and high G-forces. Pilots often assume hunched postures that misalign the spine and place stress on the back. Over time, this can lead to anatomical changes and pain. Preventative measures include improving cockpit ergonomics, exercising to strengthen muscles, using proper lifting techniques, and maintaining good posture during and after flights. Pilot health and safety are important, so prevention and treatment of back pain are essential.
The document discusses the importance of harmonization and collaboration in cabin safety. It highlights several areas where there is currently a lack of harmonized standards and guidance from ICAO regarding cabin safety practices, equipment, training procedures, and passenger information. These inconsistencies could impact passenger welfare and crew effectiveness. The document calls for ICAO to provide more comprehensive universal guidance and definitions on issues like infant safety measures, crew fatigue management, dangerous goods training, and emergency equipment requirements.
This document discusses go-arounds and reinforcing their importance in flight training. It notes that go-arounds are still a cause of accidents and reviews data on types of go-around accidents. The document emphasizes that go-arounds should be treated as a normal maneuver and discusses fundamentals like the three cardinal principles of power, attitude, and configuration. It also addresses common errors in go-arounds and stresses that instructors should teach students that a go-around is always an acceptable option if conditions are not satisfactory for landing.
This document discusses go-arounds and reinforcing their importance in flight training. It notes that accidents still occur during go-arounds, often due to stalls, loss of control, or delayed execution. Fixed-wing single-engine aircraft are most commonly involved. The document emphasizes that go-arounds should be treated as a normal maneuver and practiced, not seen as a sign of weakness. It reviews fundamentals like applying full power immediately and stopping the descent before changing attitude or configuration. Maintaining precise control throughout the go-around sequence is emphasized over an abrupt transition from descent to climb.

This document provides an overview of several major air travel organizations:
- IATA is an international trade group of airlines headquartered in Montreal that was formed in 1945 to represent the interests of commercial airlines.
- UFTAA is an international federation of travel agents and tour operators created in 1966 through the merger of two large world organizations.
- PATA is an association that promotes responsible tourism development in the Asia-Pacific region, beginning in 1951.
The document then asks questions about the aims, activities, and objectives of these organizations.
This document discusses preventing aerodynamic stalls at low altitude through timely recognition and appropriate responses. It notes that many pilots fail to avoid conditions leading to stalls, recognize stall warnings, or apply proper recovery techniques. The document then summarizes three accidents where pilots stalled and crashed aircraft during low altitude maneuvers, likely due to distractions. It recommends that pilots seek training to fully understand stalls and manage distractions during low altitude flight.
This document provides guidance for private pilots conducting charity fundraising flights. It notes that while the FAA allows these flights as an exception, pilots assume greater responsibility for passenger safety. The document outlines several risks, such as overloading the aircraft or becoming distracted by passengers, and recommends pilots take a conservative approach with preflight planning, weather minimums, and in-flight maneuvers. It also summarizes recent regulatory changes for charity flights and accidents that have occurred. The conclusion emphasizes pilots must always bear in mind the greater responsibility associated with charity flights.
Whiplash is an acute neck injury caused by sudden, unexpected impact that jerks the head back and forth, snapping the neck out of alignment. It can occur in traffic accidents, during sports, or on rollercoasters. Symptoms may include neck pain, headaches, and numbness. Proper adjustment of head restraints and seat position can help prevent whiplash by supporting and bracing the head and neck during rear impacts. Drivers should ensure head restraints are high and close to the head, seats are positioned correctly, and sufficient space is left in front of the vehicle in traffic.
Almost since the first days of flight, man has been
concerned with the safe escape from an aircraft, which
was no longer flyable. Early escape equipment
consisted of a recovery parachute only. As aircraft
performance rapidly increased during World War II, it
became necessary to assist the crew members in
gaining clear safe separation from the aircraft. This
was accomplished with an ejector seat, which was
powered by a propellant driven catapult - the first use
of a propulsive element in aircrew escape Since then,
this collection of componentry has evolved through
several generations into today's relatively complex
systems, which are highly dependent upon propulsive
elements. Ejection seats are one of the most complex
pieces of equipment on any aircraft, and some consist
of thousands of parts. The purpose of the ejection seat
is simple: To lift the pilot straight out of the aircraft to
a safe distance, then deploy a parachute to allow the
pilot to land safely on the ground
The document outlines activities for a lesson plan about flight safety procedures and an Air New Zealand safety video featuring the All Blacks rugby team. The lesson includes: 1) Discussing air safety and watching the video, 2) Comprehension questions about the video, 3) Grammar exercises on conditional sentences, 4) Writing a safety instructions leaflet, and 5) Adapting the leaflet into a presentation.
The document discusses various aspects of air transportation including aviation categories, types of flights, aircraft parts and components, and airline seating arrangements. It defines civil aviation as the industry that transports people and goods from place to place, distinguishing it from military aviation. It describes different types of flight itineraries such as nonstop, direct, connecting, open-jaw, round-trip and one-way. It outlines the basic parts of an aircraft including the fuselage, wings, engines, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, and control surfaces. It also discusses airline seat locations and terms like seat pitch.
Whiplash is an acute neck injury caused by sudden, unexpected movement that jerks the head forward and back. Symptoms include headaches, neck pain, and numbness. Properly adjusting the head restraint can help prevent whiplash by positioning it close to the back of the head and as high as possible. In a rear impact, an improperly adjusted head restraint can allow the head and neck to hyperextend, increasing injury risk.
Whiplash is an acute neck injury caused by sudden, unexpected head movement during rear-end collisions or impacts to the head from sports. Symptoms include neck pain, headaches, and dizziness. Properly adjusting the head restraint close to the back of the head and at eye level can reduce injury risk by limiting head movement. Drivers should also position themselves comfortably with backs against seats and adjust seat belts for safety.

1. 218. AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS BULLETIN NO. 1-94-17
BRACE FOR IMPACT POSITIONS
(Formerly Air Carrier Operations Bulletin No. 1-76-23 and includes
NTSB SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS A-79-76, A-79-77, and A-79-78).
a. The Aeromedical Research Branch of the Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI), Protection
and Survival Laboratory, has conducted research and tests with respect to establishing
“brace for impact” positions for passengers and flight attendants.
b. In order to establish a best brace for impact position for each person, it would be
necessary to know the size and physical limitations of the individual, the seating
configuration, the type of emergency, and many other factors.
c. There are two primary reasons for bracing for impact. One is to reduce flailing and the
other is to reduce secondary impact. Secondary impact can be reduced by prepositioning
the body (particularly the head) against the surface it would strike during impact.
Flailing can be reduced by having the occupant flex, bend, or lean forward over their legs
in some manner.
d. Aircraft being utilized today may have seating arrangements which result in very small
seat pitches (the space between seats) or may have a combination of small and large seat
pitch spacing (i.e., an aircraft with a first class/coach seating arrangement). Also recent
amendments to Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) have upgraded the
airworthiness standards for flight attendant seats including the requirement for shoulder
harnesses. In view of this information, this bulletin is to provide the best possible
information for most emergency situations.
e. Passengers should take a brace position in one of several ways and in all cases, the
seatbelt should be worn as tight as possible and as low on the torso as possible.
(1)
In aircraft with low-density seating or seats spaced relatively far apart, passengers
should, as depicted in Figures 2 or 3, rest their head and chests against their legs.
Flailing can be reduced by having the passengers grasp their ankles or legs as
depicted in Figure 2 or if they are unable to do that, they should wrap their arms
under their legs as depicted in Figure 3. Their heads should be face down in their
laps and not turned to one side.
(2)
In aircraft with high-density seating or in cases where passengers are physically
limited and are unable to place their heads in their laps, they should position their
heads and arms against the seat (or bulkhead) in front of them as depicted in Figure
1.
2. (3)
Passengers in aft facing seats should rest their heads on the seat back (or bulkhead)
behind them as depicted in Figure 5. The passengers should not place their hands in
back of their heads, as has been recommended in the past, but rather, should either
place their hands in their laps or grasp the side of their seats.
(4)
The passengers’ feet should be placed flat on the floor and slightly in front of the
edge of the seat.
(5)
Passengers should not use pillows or blankets between their bodies and the object
they are bracing against (either a seat back or their own body). Pillows and
blankets provide little, if any, energy absorption and increase the possibility of
secondary impact injury. Also, pillows and blankets could create additional clutter
in the aisles which could be a detriment in an emergency evacuation.
(6)
Children which are occupying approved child restraint devices should be braced in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Children in passenger seats
should utilize the same brace position as adults. Adults holding infants should
provide as uniform support as possible to the infant’s head, neck, and body, and lean
over the infant to minimize the possibility of injury due to flailing.
(7)
Pregnant or handicapped passengers may or may not need the assistance of another
person in taking a brace position but should, in general, attempt to take the same
brace position as the other passengers. If aft facing passenger seats are available,
these passengers may benefit from being located to those seats.
f. The brace positions for flight attendants will depend on the direction their seats face and
type of restraint system those seats are equipped with.
(1)
In forward facing seats equipped with an inertial reel shoulder harness, the flight
attendants should sit back in the seat as depicted in Figure 5 and rest their chin on
their sternum as depicted in Figure 4. If the seats are equipped with noninertial
reel-type shoulder harnesses, the flight attendants should fasten their shoulder
harnesses as tight as possible, lean against them, and rest their chins on their
sternums as depicted in Figure 4. The flight attendants’ arms and hands should be
positioned in their laps or holding onto the side of their seats, but should not be
holding onto their restraint systems.
(2)
In rear facing flight attendant seats, the flight attendants should sit back in their
seats, rest their heads against their seat backs or headrests, and have the restraint
systems, either inertial or noninertial type, as tight as possible as depicted in Figure
5. Their hands should not be clasped behind their heads, but may be positioned as
in a forward facing seat.
3. g. Helicopter “brace for impact” positions are the same as those for airplanes. Flight
attendants, if present, should utilize either the brace position for passengers or for flight
attendants depending on their seats and restraint systems.
h. In the case of a planned emergency landing, the passengers should be briefed on the
above information. In the case of an unplanned emergency, the flight attendants may
only have enough time to give a short command such as “leanover” or “grab your
ankles.” Experience has shown that in an attempt to take a brace position of some sort,
the passengers will end up in a position which could result in less injury than if no
attempt had been made at all.
i. Principal operations inspectors (POI) are requested to evaluate the seat spacing and
passenger briefing card brace positions of their assigned certificate holders and advise the
certificate holders of the foregoing. Where appropriate, changes in the certificate
holder’s crewmember emergency training program should contain bracing information
appropriate to the aircraft and seat spacing being utilized by that certificate holder.
