Uh-oh we have a code Adam yeah we have a Jim Wilson on board the plane have you
ever heard these codes come from a pilot and thought what do they mean
a lot of the time pilots will use the plane's intercom to talk to other crew
members on board they may say many things that sound random to the
passengers but these are often very scary codes and if you learn them you'll
know exactly what pilots are saying these are codes that pilots and Airlines
do not want the passengers to know but I think you guys have a right to know them
I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at some codes pilots don't want you
to know but before we take off on top 10 airlines why not subscribe and press the
notification bell to coming up first we have 7500 this may seem like a string of
random numbers but if you ever hear this then you're in trouble one of the
biggest issues during an in-flight emergency is a pilot not being able to
communicate the emergency to other people on the plane of course I don't
mean the passengers but instead of the crew and more importantly air traffic
control sometimes they haven't been able to do this and army Jets have not been
scrambled the plane that has emerged from CN it simply crashes to the ground
well one of the worst codes you could hear over the intercom is 7500 this
means the plane has been hijacked a lot of the time during plane hijackings the
passengers don't even know that's because they may use a threat to try and
keep all of the crew quiet and sometimes hijackings can't even come from a
co-pilot or a crew member themselves so if you ever hear 7500 on an intercom
then it's time to panic next up is code Adam in 1981 a boy named Adam Walsh was
taken from a convenience store someone had sadly taken him from his
mother and then took his life the terrible crime inflicted on the
six-year-old boy shocked the entire country but that's why we now have code
Adam on airplanes code Adam means that there's a missing child on the plane now
this could either mean that a child has been taken from a parent on the plane or
it means someone's taken a trial and they're trying to get away with them on
the plane according to the Center for Missing children this happens quite a
lot so if you ever hear code Adam on the play
it means a child is being taken next stop is 7600 or 7 7 0 o depending on the
pilots training and their airline they may use either of these two codes but
they mean the same thing hearing these codes means that there's a
radio failure or a loss of communication pilots obviously can only see so much a
lot of the information that's required to fly a plane comes from air traffic
control and of course their screens which show the radar of other planes in
the sky are also crucial but if you hear these codes it means one or both of
these communication channels is not working and if you're wondering how
pilots remember these codes there's actually a rhyme it goes 7 5 taken alive
7 6 technical glitch 7 7 going to heaven yeah that is pretty scary and not what
you want to hear on a flight next up is Jim Wilson this may sound absolutely
stunning but sometimes people passed away on board a flight every year about
50 people pass away midair this can simply be from old age or maybe a heart
attack onboard some people even passed away from peanut
allergies from people bringing food onto the plane but the secret code used by
airline staff when a passengers passed away is Jim Wilson to avoid alarming
other passengers they'll simply say visit Jim Wilson on board this may also
refer to a body in the cargo that's right along with your suitcases there
may be a few bodies in the cargo think about it if somebody passes away on
vacation then they need to be taken back to their home turf and there's no
special planes that do this in fact commercial planes do it every single
flight it's said that on about 10% of all flights there's a body being
transported below and that body is often referred to as Jim Wilson next up is
code Bravo code Bravo is another very scary code you do not want to hear this
is actually a code to distract passengers the flight crew will use this
phrase to distract any passengers from actual danger that way the passengers
are focused on something else and not the real danger and thus the pilots and
crew can take care of that without any interference one big issue when there's
a danger on board is passengers trying to be heroes and
butting in and getting in the way so to prevent this code Bravo is what's said
next up is air pocket if you hear on the intercom that we're approaching an air
pocket then hang on make sure your seat belt is buckled and maybe pull out the
vomit bag that's because an air pocket means you're going to experience some
extreme turbulence basically an air pocket is a nicer way of referring to
having a very bumpy ride and they use this code because many passengers are
scared of turbulence next stop is blue juice no this isn't some kind of
delicious secret cocktail only the pilots know about in fact blue juice
refers to the toilet water on the plane for example if they say we have a
problem with the blue juice this means the toilet water spilled out also if you
hear the phrase we're dumping the Bluetooth it means they're letting the
toilet go over the sea this is actually how the empty airplane toilets a lot of
the time but according to airline attendants the toilet water is the same
water that you drink I've covered this in many videos before but that's the
reason why no crew on a plane will ever drink water tea or coffee next up is
crotch watch okay that's kind of a crude code but it's actually something only
the crew knows about if a pilot says this it's basically asking the airline
attendants to check everyone's wearing a seat belt
it may not be eloquent but it gets the point across to the crew that they need
to trick everyone is wearing a seat belt you may think that's kind of pointless
because in a plane crash a seat belt may not help all that much but it's a legal
requirement for them to check that every passenger is buckled up before they take
off next up we have all call if you hear all the cool this means something may be
very very wrong for example a pilot may say flight attendants doors to a rifle
cross-check and all call according to one former pilot this means that they
want kind of a conference call for all the flight attendants the pilots may
want to tell them some new information which has just come up
or maybe they want to gather all the flight attendants to tell them that an
emergency landing will have to take place either way when you hear all cool
it basically means all crew report to the cabin next up is last-minute
paperwork if you hear this phrase then get ready
to make yourself comfortable this code means that there's an issue
with the plane before taking off this is usually something major like an issue
with the plane's weight and balance this means the plane may need to be adjusted
and it will take a long time sometimes last-minute paperwork can mean a two to
three hour delay this is because they may need to reconfigure the entire
planes hydraulics but it's a good thing that the pilots spotted this as if they
didn't the plane could fall out of the sky next up is holding pattern if you
hear holding pattern then you'll be in the air but it means you won't be
landing any time soon a holding pattern is basically a number eight shape that
the plane will have to fly in that's simply because there's delays on the
airport runway there are too many planes on the runway thanks to delays or bad
weather so the plane can't land so that's why the plane simply has to fly
into number eight shape above the airport until it's able to land so if
you hear the code holding pattern get comfortable you're gonna be in the air
for a long time and finally we have ground stop if you hear the code ground
stop then get comfortable this yet again means there's delays and you won't be
taking off for a long time this is normally because of traffic backlog for
example if one plane gets delayed all of the other planes get delayed after it so
when this happens there can be a ground stop meaning that lots of planes have
stopped on the ground so now you know all the pilot codes from the scary to
the funny to the just plain weird but now it's time to make your voice
heard vote in the poll in the top right corner have you ever had an in-flight
emergency on one of your planes if you guys want some more amazing videos check
out my second channel they'll be linked to that on screen in a moment but as
always thanks for watching check out some more videos on screen right now
