Almost. When we raced a storm back from Gran Canaria and the pilot landed in a hurry, we all hit the seat in front as he slammed on the breaks, and came skidding to a halt.
That was a phew! moment and I clapped in my head. |

"If I were a pilot and everyone started clapping I would feel totally offended. Like they hadn’t expected me to do it successfully but because I did I deserve a round of applause. Strange. "
I always think that. Was everyone expecting her to crash ? Do you clap everytime the checkout boy says the total and hands you the bill ? Do you clap every time someone stops at a red light ?
Weird 
But not as weird as people who EXPECT a thank you for stopping at a red light. |

I really can't fathom why anyone would do this. Do the people that do it also clap bus drivers when they pull up at a bus stop, train drivers when they stop at a station, or taxi drivers when they reach their destination?

Tom was on a plane when the pilot announced on the tannoy that we were coming into land. The man in the next seat started panicking and grabbed the seat in front.
It's a bloody woman flying the plane he cried
Tom tried to reason with him and explained that many commercial pilots are women these days and they are just as good as flying planes as the men. Besides that Tom said, Stop panicking, it's not as if she has to reverse the plane .. |

there was the time when we flew into hong kong airport in 1987 to play some gigs. the aircraft had a terrible time trying to skirt around a typhoon enroute, got struck by lightning, lost the use of some engines and only just had enough altitude to get onto the runway. there was a lot more than clapping that day. |

My cousin Walter jerked off in public once. True story.
He was on a plane to New Mexico when all of the sudden the hydraulics went. The plane started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the passengers are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of the sudden, snap! The hydraulics kick back in. The plane rights itself and it land safely and everyone puts their pieces or, whatever, you know, away and deboard. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else. |

Only once did we clap when our plane landed. The pilots thoroughly deserved it. It was very icy and we had to circle to lose fuel, then there was talk of diverting and finally they decided they could do it. I don't know if you've ever been on a plane that slewed sideways as the wheels touched down  |

Only once coming down in a crosswind, so much so I could literally see UP the runway… how that pilot got it down I never know but yeah…the clapping for the pilot was real! |

I really don’t get why ppl do that I find it quite bizarre. Some take offs and landings are particularly precarious, but I’d still expect the pilot to land or get the plane off the ground safely. That’s their job right? |

Don't underestimate the fear in someone who is scared of flying and on a plane in dodgy weather conditions.
I'm an atheist but I'd be thanking God in your situation. |

"Why is clapping on a plane so wrong? Is this another of those things that we may not do for fear of appearing uncool?"
I thank the bus driver when I get off a bus. Only the EL ones though. No idea why. |

I think we were. A friend of mine is terrified of flying. He was praying so loud on a flight he was on that surrounding passengers asked him to "shut the fuck up"  |

Me too. I show my appreciation to retail staff by saying thank you, I greet taxi drivers and thank them at journey's end, I say "thank you" to cabin crew when disembarking, I don't think it's that much of a stretch to clap the pilots. |

is that allowed while they're flying the plane? There's always autopilot I suppose |

I was hoping for a post-flight invite to his hotel room
Alas, no such luck! |

As it’s the only time the pilot is in charge off the plane
The rest off the way it’s all computers
So it’s about the only time your in real danger |

Generally. No. But once on a Ryanair flight back to Liverpool from Portugal the pilot pretty much belly flopped the plane onto the runway. He got a sarcastic slow clap from most of the passengers on board |

On a flight to Ibiza, a young lady announced loudly it was her first ever time flying. On final approach, she kept repeating nervously... "I've got my eyes closed. Are we on the floor yet?"
We clapped when landed - not for the faultless flying but happy we'll soon get away from her ... |

Not when you're last off because the disability people forgot about you and the cabin crew are desperate to disembark! But in principle, yeah |

It most certainly wasn't my fantasy at 11pm on a Sunday night, when I had work the next morning and had travelled solo in my wheelchair from Toledo to Madrid; Madrid to Amsterdam and then Amsterdam to Manchester. The only fuckers to forget to assist me were Manchester.
So, the Norwegians who'd sat next to me, plus KLM cabin crew got me out. The dishy pilot was on the outbound journey, not return. |

"Not me but lots do no I'm too busy trying to stay calm"
I get that. I am scared of heights and love flying: you'd think the two wouldn't mix...but if you imagine a bird whose wings were clipped and could no longer fly, then that's me.
I have taken some beautiful arial photos of my old address from a helicopter and done a better job than Google Earth. Scary AND exciting. Addictive too. |
