Should You Applaud the Pilot After Landing?
There’s nothing wrong with applauding pilots after they’ve landed but it’s not necessary to do so either. After all, they’re just doing their job. Getting the plane safely to the ground is definitely one of the harder parts of a pilot’s job so sure, applause will make them smile.
It’s all about individual preferences really. Some pilots are more than happy to receive notes from passengers letting them know what a great landing it was and some even stand out to say goodbye to the passengers while they’re exiting. We guess at the end of the day most take it as a compliment.
