That is the message from flight attendants and pilots following the severe turbulence encountered by a Singapore Airlines flight yesterday that resulted in the death of one passenger and injured dozens of others.
Airlines are required by law to switch on the seatbelt sign during take-off and landing, but carriers have their own procedures to deal with mid-air turbulence.A witness on the Singapore Airlines flight said numerous people who were not in their seatbelt were thrown around the cabin when the plane dipped, many hitting their heads.
Aerospace safety expert Anthony Brickhouse said passengers need to minimise their movement on flights and always stay buckled in, regardless of the seatbelt light.
