Instructions
Step 1
To prepare for a helicopter flight, first of all, prepare suitable clothes, because your comfort will largely depend on them. It is best to choose loose fit things so that nothing interferes with your movement. Pay particular attention to the materials from which the garment is made. They must be natural, breathable and moisture-vaporizing. It can get quite chilly in the helicopter, so bring something warm with you just in case.
Step 2
Be sure to take a drink with you. It is best to choose plain clean water or mineral water, but without gases. It is better to refuse lemonades, juices and other drinks. If the flight is long, then you can take food. Choose light foods such as vegetables, yoghurts, berries, or fruits. You can also take a sandwich.
Step 3
Preparing for a helicopter flight involves preventing motion sickness. So that you do not get seasick, have a light snack half an hour or an hour before the flight. An empty stomach increases the risk of nausea. If you are constantly sick in almost any type of transport, then consult your doctor about taking special medications. There are also bracelets that help to cope with this problem. They stimulate specific points on the wrists that are responsible for the functioning of the vestibular apparatus. There are such points behind your earlobes, so try working on them. You can try eating a slice of lemon or orange, or chewing gum. Another technique is defocusing the gaze. Since one of the causes of motion sickness is the reaction of the visual receptors to the rapid change of objects, then if you do not concentrate on individual details of the landscape, then you can avoid unpleasant sensations. Look at everything superficially and fleetingly.
Step 4
Another important aspect of preparing for a flight is the protection of the body from pressure drops. Ears especially suffer from such changes. To avoid blockages and pain, drink water, suck on lollipop, or chew gum. Simple swallowing movements can also help. Alternatively, you can plug your nose and mouth, and then try to exhale. There is one more technique. Prepare two plastic cups, two napkins, and hot water. Soak tissues in water and place them in cups, then place cups to your ears. Hot steam will help relieve discomfort.
