Pre-flight safety briefings (also known as pre-flight demonstrations, in-flight safety briefing, flight safety demonstrations, safety instructions, or safety videos) are detailed explanations given prior to take-off to aircraft passengers about the safety features of their aircraft overpriced.
Flight regulations do not state how an airline should provide briefings, only that 'Aircraft operators should ensure that all passengers verbally before each take-off'. Consequently, and depending on aircraft entertainment systems on airplanes, as well as airline policies, airlines may provide pre-recorded briefings or give live demonstrations. A live demonstration was performed by a flight attendant standing in the hallway, while another flight attendant told of the public address system. Pre-recorded prefers may show audio only, or can take the form of video (audio plus visual). Pre-flight safety briefing usually lasts for two to six minutes. As a consideration for travelers who do not speak the official language of airlines and passengers with hearing problems, videos may display subtitles, signers on screen, or may be repeated in other languages.
Some safety videos are created using a three-dimensional graph. Other videos are made funny, or feature celebrities, or based on popular movies. Many safety videos are uploaded to YouTube. Cebu Pacific choreographed the entire demonstration into Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and "Octopus California" as an experiment during one of their flights. The flight attendant featured in the latest Delta Air Lines video has become an internet celebrity known as Deltalina. The current British Airways video safety video (per 2018), featuring comedians, actors, and other celebrities such as Rowan Atkinson, Gordon Ramsay and Gillian Anderson, is a funny character and is seeking to raise funds for the Comic Relief charity.
In an emergency, the stewardess is trained to calmly instruct the passengers how to respond, given the type of emergency. Research conducted at the University of New South Wales Australia questioned the effectiveness of this briefing in delivering the ultimate safety message for passengers to remember and act in emergencies. In one study, various pre-recorded safety briefings were tested. One safety briefing contained humor, the others were empty of humor (said to reflect standard style briefings), and others used celebrities to sell the importance of security briefings and the messages contained therein. Shortly after being briefed, people attracted about 50% of key safety messages from celebrity briefings, 45% of humorous briefings, and 32% of null briefings from celebrities and humor. Two hours post-exposure pre-flight safety briefing, memory decreased on average by 4% from original level in all conditions.
