Airline pilots are trained to be attentive when they're on planes, so they will notice details that slip by most passengers.
Experienced pilots know that a sudden change in the angle of the light that comes through a cabin window can be the first sign that the pilot is changing course.
„An unexpected, significant shift in the angle of the Sun can be your first sign that a course change is being made,“ Farrier wrote.Many air travelers don’t expect clear and timely explanations when their flight is delayed, but they should, according to Patrick Smith, a pilot and author of the air travel blog„I get very frustrated when I’m on a plane and there’s a delay or the plane just seems to stop on a taxiway and sit there for 25 minutes for no reason, and nothing is said.
„Most passengers don’t notice the level-off that often occurs when the airplane is about to enter the approach environment or descend below 10,000 feet,“ Hachi Ko wrote on Quora. „When I feel that little level-off for the airplane to slow, I imagine the pilots going through the checklist, and at the right time, I turn to my companion and go ‚Ding!‘ I’m within 4 or 5 seconds well over 50% of the time and it freaks them out.
„For one thing, I always look around to find the nearest emergency exit. Then I count the number of seats between me and that exit,“ John Chesire wrote on Quora. „I do this so if ever necessary, I can in the dark, or under water, or if there is smoke, or if upside down, I know beforehand where the exit is, and I can blindly count the number of seats by touch to reach that emergency exit row, because I have counted them.
