    Did you know that airplanes have a horn similar to the one you have in your car? It's called the mechanic horn and is relatively loud, as is supposed to get the ground personnel's attention if they aren't connected with their headset to the aircraft. In the air, the horn is pretty pointless.
    I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
    Wishing you all the best!

    I’ve always thought an audible horn would have been handy in cases like the Gimli Glider where the pilots noticed people and vehicles on a disused runway and couldn’t warn them (all was well on that occasion but this was down to luck). As mentioned above, it wouldn’t be much use in a runway incursion or similar (eg Tenerife) where planes were operating at take off thrust.

    • @juliencooper177
      @juliencooper177 Рік тому +2

      Really, that's a thought right there, Gimli. And with no engines running, I was surprised people got out of the way of the Gimli Glider. That horn would likely have to be mighty in sound compared to other great horns, but you think that ground crews usually wear ear muffs and sometimes earplugs under them, while sometimes in ground vehicles, maybe there's that already for strength. Nope, had no idea that's a thing for ground crews, but I didn't deal with big airplanes as ground crew and mechanic since the early 1980s, and mostly doing engine related work. And they were not the usual big airplanes of today, they were older jets and big warbirds. I don't recall hearing nor repairing a horn other than those which are system and flight warning alarms, and they sound more internally, usually with warning lights on or flashing.

    For a long time I have thought that airplanes - especially small GA aircraft - should have a horn in case an emergency landing is needed near people or ground vehicles. This seems important enough that I would consider having a small portable air horn on hand, like the horns people take to sporting events.

    Is this a realively recent innovation? For those of you who remember the Gimly Glider, the Air Canada Boeing 767 that ran out of fuel and had to crash land on an abandoned air force airstrip there were kids playing on it and because the engines weren't running it glided in silently and the children had no idea this massive plane was about to run them over. Luckily the kids got out of the way at the last moment but that's what the captain was saying was that he could have used a horn in that situation. I wonder if this is what inspired aircraft manufacturers to put horns on planes after that.

    It’s just a horn like your car has. Nothing special. I may have used it in the ATR a time or two when the aircraft ahead of me was going towards the runway at a spectacularly slow speed. While not moving, I’d position the hand mike low in the cockpit so it would pick up the sound of the horn, then simultaneously key the mike on ground control frequency while hitting the horn button a couple of times. Not sure if was heard by the intended recipient or not.
