    Landings. My ears almost always pop.

  • Take off's, I hate flying. At least with the landing I know I am back on the ground again.

    (Takeoffs)

    (One word, not two. Additionally, it’s a plural noun, not a possessive singular noun, so no apostrophe.)

    I love the take-offs but the landings always make me a little angst.

    I like both; the takeoff because I love the feeling of being pressured into the seatback, and landing because I play a game with myself to see if I can detect the second the wheels hit the runway.

    A new study released by Boeing shows that the about half of all fatal plane crashes occur during the final descent and landing. It’s only 4 percent of the total trip for most flights, but accounts for 48 percent of all crashes. The second highest accident probability is during take off and the initial ascent: 13 percent of fatal crashes happened during that time.

    H    istorically it was said that the first three minutes of a flight were the most dangerous.  I have always counted it off at takeoff.
