Join popular holiday airline, Airtours, for a privileged perspective from the high-tech flightdeck of a flight from Manchester in the UK to Dalaman in Southern Turkey. Learn about the cockpit and instruments on this fascinating aircraft - this is a television experience not to be missed!
The trip starts at Manchester International airport where the Captain invites you into the flightdeck. Once on board, follow the cockpit briefing, watch engine start-up and observe the many procedures necessary to get the aircraft safely into the air.
You will witness both the take-off and landing from the jump seat, and once in the cruise you will also be given a full guided tour of the cockpit instrumentation including the EADI (Electronic Attitude Director Indicator), EHSI (Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator), EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System). The Captain will also show you how the EICAS system works, including the alert, caution and warning operations.
In addition to the guided tour of the 'office', you'll hear the Air Traffic Control for the flight and follow the checklists as we give you the opportunity to explore this popular aircraft with an experienced Captain.
