Use Of Autopilot
Unlike in the movie, Airplane, the auto-pilot is a computer and not a blow-up doll with a captain’s hat. Do the pilots use the autopilot? Yes, they sure do and for up to 90% of the flight time. However when it comes to taking the plane off the ground and bringing it back down safely, your real-life human pilot is responsible for that.
Best Time To Fly
If you’re not a morning person, perhaps you aren’t going to like this one. But according to flight attendants, those early morning flights are the most comfortable. The main reason being that the weather is better, meaning you’ll have less chance of turbulence.
