Common Myths About Flying Debunked
Airplane Air Makes You Sick
The truth: Modern airplanes use HEPA filters that remove 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, resulting in clean cabin air.
Turbulence is Dangerous
The truth: Planes are designed to handle turbulence, and while it might feel unsettling, it’s rarely a safety concern.
Airplane Doors Can Be Opened Mid-Flight
The truth: Cabin pressure at cruising altitude keeps doors sealed, making it impossible to open them during flight.
Pilots Fly the Plane the Entire Time
The truth: While pilots manage critical moments like takeoff and landing, autopilot handles much of the cruising phase.
