Brace (position)

To brace can be an instruction to prepare for a crash, such as on an aircraft, the instruction to brace for impact is often given if the aircraft must make an emergency landing over land or water.
The brace procedure consists of the person tucking their feet firmly behind their knees - this prevents the legs flailing around in front of them on impact, and placing their head forward and close to their knees if the seatback in front of the person is not reachable, or having the hands and arms to support the head, resting on the seatback if it is reachable.

اتخاذ وضعية الجلوس الثبت استعدادا لأي حادث طيران

This definition would be used in any flying difficulties in preparation for a resulting forced landing thereof. The FAmily 2 Program (Sakhr) Dictionary defines brace as "يثبت", among other definitions. Brace usually means get ready as well as fortify or strengthen and in this case it is suitable for both meanings.
