    Exactly. THe alternative to landing is being stuck up there. When you get caught in a landing queue I would seriously consider the offer of a parachute.

    Isnt take off the most dangerous part? I tend to think once the thing is in the air and working you will be fine.

    Going to sleep on planes is actually quite difficult if you hate flying.

    'Aircraft' is good. 'Aeroplane' is also fine. 'The jet', if you're flying it.

    Take off is by far the most dangerous time on an airliner. Just after rotate, at a speed so low you're entirely dependent on the complex system of slats and flaps keeping the aircraft airborne as it accelerates - meanwhile, the engines are working flat out and if something's going to go wrong with one of them, this is the time. And if it does, you'd better pray that the PF has the reflexes to immediately get the correct rudder applied and the room to lower the nose to maintain VMcA, or you're fúcked.

    Annoying if I am stuck on the wing
    It obstructs the view

    I do not like night flights so much
    Pitch black out there
    How can the pilot see where he is going ?!
    10 characters? Pile of cund.

    If you are 6 foot tall and sat in economy, that isn't an easy option.

    I struggle to sleep in bed, let alone strapped into a rock hard chair in a tube of farts

    Well it's the most dangerous in the sense that you are pointing the big, fast-moving machine at the ground and hoping everything goes alright, I'd guess. In terms of the statistics, I've no idea. You'd have to ask Sir C. He knows about these things.

    So I was right to be scared

    Yes, yes, but does it really have to be so noisy?

    A serious question to you and Peter

    Do you just feel paralysed gripped with gear and not wanting to move when on an aircraft and is being sat in the chair the least worrying option ?

    Could take a while if landing at Gatwick or Stansted
