Flying at night is cheap and fast. Why do few people take it?

I still think the plane is really safer during the day than at night, because the flight situation perception will be clearer during the day. If the instrument fails, the next flight state can be judged visually. At night, especially at sea, it is even difficult to find a reference object with your eyes, and then you will lose your situational awareness.

In addition, people are the most tired and listless in the early hours of the morning, and the crew is no exception, so this is also a hidden danger. First of all, this kind of thing happened (passenger planes collided in operation), once near an airport in India (in the evening), and once in Germany (late at night) and the United States (in the morning).

But I must point out three points. First of all, air crashes are small probability events. Compared with highways, civil aviation is quite safe, and it is not worse than railways which are famous for their "stability". Then the air collision is a small probability event. Further, third, air collision has little to do with day and night.

Everyone is afraid to take the evening flight, because they think it is easy to fight at night and are embarrassed to fight during the day. This kind of incident is often caused by ground control or airborne electronic equipment, and the pilot's vision is only a secondary factor.

1on the morning of June 30, 956, two passenger planes collided over the Grand Canyon in the United States. Pay attention to the time. 1956. Two planes collided: United Airlines 7 18 (DC-7) with 53 passengers and 5 crew members, flying from Los Angeles to Chicago; Global 2 (L- 1049 Super Constellation), carrying 64 passengers and 6 crew members, flew from Los Angeles to Kansas. At that time, passenger planes were generally not equipped with radar, and ground radar coverage was insufficient. When the collision occurred, the two planes were no longer on the air traffic control radar.

At the same time, air traffic control was not strict at that time. Pilots have considerable freedom to deviate from the route at will-to be precise, there is no route at all. Nobody cares how to save fuel and fly comfortably. Two people with high myopia, without the guidance of others, pass through the same coordinate at the same time, with the same latitude, longitude and height. It's over.
