Even if we do not like to admit it, the act of getting on a plane involves a great deal of trust; trust in the pilots and flight crew, in the aircraft makers, in the airline itself, and ultimately, in the authorities who approved the plane to fly. Domestically, this last responsibility lies with the Federal Airport Authorities which is known for exerting standards. These are some simple tips to identify the safety standard of an airline.

Airplane And Engine Design
The airplane and engine design comes as the first attribute of a safe airline because it gives a direct impression about it. Improved design of the airplane and its entire engine provides engineers a truer understanding of the machines limit which prompts refinements that may make a genuine difference in safety instead of only design.

Cockpit Technology
Many contemporary airlines have seen their traditional mechanical controls replaced by electronic ones. With the improvement in technology, gone are the days when airlines were operated via mechanical controls. So, for an airline to be regarded as safe, it must at least concur with modern cockpit technology.

Pilot Experience
'Technology is no substitute for experience, skill, and judgment." A safe airline should have and know the importance of good pilots and good training, which is why so much efforts go into selection and schooling (pilot training). Professional pilots ought to have undergone adequate flight training before recruitment by any airline.

A Perfect Appointed Cockpit
Selecting the right pilots is key, but assuring their work environment enhances their performance- even the biggest airplanes are flown from cockpits scarcely larger than the average-size car. A plane flies round the clock, so the instruments must be visible, and sound, in all light conditions.

Passenger Cabin
How about on your side of the cockpit door? Cramped airline seats meet tough durability standards and head-impact protection. In identifying a safe airline, air travelers should note that the modern airliner seats are durable and can withstand 16 times the force of gravity (that is taking a moving airplane and suddenly putting it to a halt).

Sophisticated Air Traffic Control
This current sophisticated air traffic control is very different from the days when maps, blackboards, and pencil and paper calculations were used to direct airplanes. With regular inward and outward daily flights, it takes a pretty sophisticated process to safely and efficiently manage a huge, and still growing number of aircraft.

If all airlines can stick to these easy instructions, the next time the captain welcomes you aboard, you really can sit back, relax and enjoy your flight, knowing the safest part of your trip has just begun.
