[Image: Peter James] I began and ended all my flights at LOWI to test terrain, feel out the winds aloft, as well as terrain-based wind flows and shear. The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.

Oh, and did I mention, most of this complex interaction between student and instructor takes place in a cramped and noisy cockpit “classroom,” in turbulence, and in a busy air traffic environment? In return, the simple act of flight instruction is excellent preparation for the duties of an airline first officer.

Though it’s not as overtly revolutionary as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) or Safe Return enabled by Garmin Autoland on Cirrus’ SF50 Vision Jet, the reimagined flight deck in the new SR G7 and other improvements make a more immediate impact—because pilots benefit from them on every flight, from the moment you press the start button.

Eventually, the FAA’s Flight Technology group acknowledged the benefits of flying with datalink weather in the cockpit and released Advisory Circular 00-63A in 2014. Be aware of the product time or “valid until” time on the particular data link information displayed in the flight deck.

The airlines use their high-fidelity flight simulators to great advantage, and when combined with stick shakers, multicrew flight decks, and low-speed and stall-warning systems, the training is excellent. However, the real focus of this maneuver is avoiding situations that might place the jet anywhere near stall speed.

As the flight drew closer to its destination, the first officer contacted the Voepass operational dispatcher at Guarulhos to coordinate their arrival. A cabin crew member contacted the flight deck, but the first officer asked her to wait while he finished dealing with dispatch. The airframe de-icing system turned off.

Most larger aircraft has jump seats in the cockpit and in the galley. He has also put all of us pilots in precarious positions as commuters and pilots allowing jump seaters into our flight decks. Sometimes airlines will close our bases so rather than uprooting our families, we choose instead to commute by airplane.

FFDOs: Federal Flight Deck Officers The Last Line of Defense FFDOs are pilots already employed at US airlines, who volunteer for the FFDO program. Their “ juris diction ” is the the smallest in the world: the airline cockpit. Accessed by a trap door near the flight deck, the bay is pretty massive.

The interesting note is most professional pilots have been type rated in more than one jet. We do occasionally notice them in the cockpit. One thing most people do not realize is that most flight deck instrumentation are all LCD displays. This is basically a giant expresso machine that looks like a jet engine.

If the co-pilot was lucky, the captain might let them work the radios and help with a few navigational duties, but the phrase “Gear up and Shut up” was considered a normal cockpit environment. This finding highlighted the role of communication, decision-making, and leadership in cockpit behavior and the resulting accidents.

Most of the popular Boeing and Airbus passenger jets, like the 767, 747, A330, and A350, have cargo counterparts. As an example, the Boeing 767-300F cargo aircraft is nearly identical to the 767-300ER passenger jet. DreamLifter Trivia: Only the flight deck is pressurized on this 747 conversion. Look for passenger windows.
