Debate: Clap when the plane lands

In this different installment, We review a debate that has been generated in social networks más at once, to clap or not when the avióand ateriza. Foto Tapestry Films.

Quiet, sitting in your seat and looking out of the ventana cóhow the flight you are on lands, hits the ground softly and suddenly, a person applauds, afterés another and almost all the avión isá applauding, but ¿becauseé?

This debate was openedó the other día con is tuit:

If you go to see the thread in that tweet that was bornó del víDeo Karla Rivadeneira who landedó in Guayaquil from New York, couldán see a wide variety of opinions about whether «Eastá right or wrong to do», so first I want to know if you do:

 

¿You clap when the avióand ateriza?

Me da verüalien enza
No
I do not do it, but I understand it
I do it when others do it
Other (Comérate)

how can they read, commenté that in Ecuador there is the custom of applauding when an avión lands and runs into wheels at its destination, something like a kind of traditionón de is byeís, but that same tweet revealedó that there are many más paíyou know where it's done:

  • Russia
  • Argentina
  • The Savior
  • Greece
  • Qatar
  • Paraguay
  • Perú
  • Italy
  • Venezuela

Apparently it's a reactionón about traditionón más común from what I knewímasters at the beginning.

¿Becauseé applause when a plane landsón?

We are now going to review some of the reasons that lead passengers to applaud, that alsoén were revealed in this debate:

  • Traditionón.
  • Many people do not like to fly and it is a release of emotions.
  • The emotionalón to return to his país (for many reasons).
  • If it takes placeás on long flights than on short ones.
  • Thanks and congratulationsón to the pilots for bringing them safely to their destination.
  • When there is a delay in departure and you finally reach your destination.
  • When it was an approximationón complicated by climate as an example.
  • Inaugurationón of a new route toérea.

It's very clear, there are several reasons. I personally do not applaud, but it's respectable that people do it for whatever reason.

Say that it isá well where isá bad is subject to the reality of each passenger, but it certainly gives a different touch to a flight when massively the entire planeón starts applauding.

¿You applaud when your plane landsón?

  1. Understand how a plane with envelope 200 pax I was able to fly and moreover manage to reach land safe and sound ,it's a tremendous feat…Physics and technology play a very important role…applaud for every time an aircraft of these characteristics touches the runway, It is an immense pride to know that a couple of pilots manage to land these tremendous aircraft without any problem., independent if it is 737…747..,etc…they are great professionals,years of experience and many flying hours,I personally admire and applaud them and they deserve much more than that,do not forget that thanks to them,We feel safe and very confident that we will arrive victorious at our destination.….????

  2. I used to do it before, when they were the pilots, who with their ability and skill had to land the plane!!! Today it is practically automatic and no longer merits applause…..

  3. Above all for recognition and congratulations to the pilot. If there was a basket, I would leave a tip. Maybe next time in an envelope.

  4. I do not applaud, but it's such a relief to land and arrive that maybe I should, I've traveled a lot but I can't stop feeling afraid
