Night Carrier Operations. “Night operations from a carrier are conducted at a more deliberate tempo than in daylight and there is an atmosphere of increased tension. The flight deck is lit by red floodlights set high up on the island. It is a very different scene at night, gloomy and rather mysterious. The dayglo centre line and the coloured ...

The 787 Dreamliner is a two-crew aircraft, meaning that a minimum of two pilots are required to operate it. In most situations, the Captain sits in the left hand seat (LHS) and the First Officer sits in the right hand seat (RHS). In front of each pilot is a control column, which is used to control the pitch (nose up, nose down) and roll (wings up, ...
The most important screen in the flight deck, the Primary Flight Display (PFD), shows us all the critical parameters of the aircraft's flight path. Being such an important display, it's placed directly in front of the pilot. Starting in the center, the two L shapes on their side represent the wings. On the ground, as you would imagine, they are lev...
The defining feature of the 787 flight deck, the Head Up Display (HUD), is military technology in civilian clothing. In other aircraft types, pilots fly by constantly switching their attention between the screens inside and the view outside. By displaying the information from the PFD, the HUD enables us to monitor all the flight parameters whilst s...
Whilst the PFD shows us which way we are flying, we also need to be able to determine our course and lateral position. For this, we have the Navigation Display, or ND. The ND enables us to see the route that the Flight Management Computer (FMC) is expecting to fly, up to 1280 nautical miles ahead. It also shows us airports in our vicinity (green do...
The panel that we use most during the flight is conveniently placed right in the middle of the flight deck, allowing for easy access by both pilots. Once the Autopilot has been engaged, most of the controlling of the aircraft comes via this panel. Contrary to common belief, the Autopilot does not do all the work. It's only as good as the informatio...
Whilst Airbus aircraft are controlled by a side stick, which sits outboard from each pilot, Boeing still employs the traditional control column between the pilot's legs. I could go on for days about the pros and cons of both, but I won't. Some pilots prefer the traditional feel of the control column. Others prefer having the stick out of the way, c...
Already mentioned above, the FMC is the brains of the flight. During the preflight set up, we download the planned route from the company's server. We then meticulously check this route against the paper flight plan we printed during the briefing. As mentioned before, the computer is only as good as the information which we give it. During the flig...
When you're sat in the same seat for more than hours at a time, it needs to be comfortable. It also needs to be functional, enabling us to fly the aircraft safely at all times. As a result, there is always going to be a trade off. As much as I'd love to fly from a comfy sofa, it wouldn't be particularly conducive to being able to access all the air...
In case of emergency, all flight deck occupants have access to a fully enclosed oxygen mask. Unlike the masks in the cabin, the masks in the flight deck provide full protection for breathing and vision by totally covering the face. When flying at 43,000 feet, the highest the 787 can fly, in the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, you only hav...
In case of emergency on the ground, there are eight doors in the cabin through which passengers can exit. Even if a couple of them won't open or are blocked, there are still plenty of other options to escape. However, in the flight deck, there's only one door in and out. What would happen if this was to become blocked, or unable to be opened? The w...
