Lentomiehistöön

Lentomiehistöön refers to the flight crew of an aircraft. This typically includes the pilots responsible for operating the aircraft and the cabin crew who ensure the safety and comfort of passengers.

The flight crew is divided into two main groups: the flight deck crew and the cabin crew. The flight deck crew, often referred to as the cockpit crew, consists of the pilot in command (captain) and the first officer (co-pilot). They are responsible for the safe navigation, operation, and control of the aircraft from takeoff to landing. Their duties include flight planning, monitoring aircraft systems, communicating with air traffic control, and responding to any in-flight emergencies.

The cabin crew, also known as flight attendants, are responsible for passenger safety and well-being during the flight. Their responsibilities include conducting safety demonstrations, assisting passengers with boarding and stowing luggage, serving food and beverages, and responding to medical emergencies or other passenger needs. They are also trained to handle emergency situations, such as evacuations.

The composition of the flight crew can vary depending on the size and type of aircraft, as well as the length and nature of the flight. Regulations set by aviation authorities, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States or the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), dictate the minimum crew requirements and the qualifications necessary for flight crew members. These regulations aim to ensure the highest standards of aviation safety.
