# People usually clap on the planes you are on?
What airline do you fly?

I'd be terrified if people started clapping the pilot - that's like clapping a barman for pouring a decent pint, yes, it's a good talent, but if he can't do it then he shouldn't be doing the job in the first place.

# ^This. Very much.
I've only ever been on one flight where everyone clapped at the end - and I joined in wholeheartedly. The pilot had to make two - TWO! - aborted landings because of high winds.
