What happens after flight lands?

After the landing the ATC directs the aircraft to its parking stand and taxies in to that bay slowly. Sometimes if the pilot is not familiar with the airport he can seek assistance. A Follow Me jeep takes care of that and an aircraft occupies its parking bay. Bay numbers are numbered and marked by airport authority.

Upon landing, both pilots check that speed breaks and thrust reversers have deployed normally and ensure normal deceleration of the aircraft. If the pilot flying will not be taxiing the plane to the gate, there will be another positive exchange of controls somewhere around 60 knots before turning off the runway.

In an A380 the pilots' rest compartment is located just aft of the cockpit. Aboard Boeing's 787 Dreamliner it's above the main deck, up a short flight of stairs above the forward cabin. In other twin-aisle aircraft pilots' sleeping quarters might be below or adjacent to the cockpit.

The general flight phases are divided into: planning phase, takeoff phase, climb phase, cruise phase, descent phase, approach phase, and taxi phase.

During the landing phase, there are 36% of the accidents (14% during the final approach and 22% during landing), accounting for 24% of the fatalities. This means that there is a greater chance of being in an accident during the landing phase but the likelihood of being a fatality is approximately the same.

What do pilots say right before takeoff? These can vary, but in general, the announcements are relatively standard across different airlines. Most pilots will typically introduce themselves and the cabin crew; state the aircraft type, flight number, and route, and remind passengers of the airline's seatbelt policy.

It is not that unusual to have homeless people, or others who are stranded in their travels, that live for a few days at the airport, but it is rare for that to occur in a secure area.

Usually not. However, some weather conditions can cause turbulence and up and downdrafts such that an airplane can not be controlled completely; that makes me nervous.

Q: Why do planes speed up before landing? The airplanes do not increase speed before landing. But when landing gear and flaps are set to landing position, they create a lot of aerodynamic drag. Therefore, engine power is increased to maintain the approach speed.

The airline handles and pays for accommodations for crewmembers when they are on a trip. Many pilots do not live where they are based and choose to commute. Generally, if pilots need to travel and stay away from home when they are not on a trip, they are responsible for their own accommodations.
