10 Myths and Facts

• An aircraft door can be opened during a flight
• The pressure inside and outside is certainly not
  the same after take-off.
• The air pressure at high altitude is dangerously
  low, which is why the cabin pressure is
  increased artificially.
• If you look closely at aircraft doors, youll see
  that they fit into the aircraft almost like a
  cork.
• A nifty mechanical system ensures that they can
  also open outwards.
• When the door is closed, cabin pressure is
  exerted on the door.
• The force with which this takes place is
  determined by the difference in interior and
  exterior air pressure and the surface
  area of the door.

• Naturally, this only happens if the passenger is
  a threat to flight safety. We even have handcuffs
  on board for this purpose.

  announce the arrest after landing, before the
  aircraft doors open.

  systems, but not to the extend that flight safety
  is impaired.
