* The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder are 4 seconds out of synchronization during the last part of the recording.

The tape record ended, at 19. 02: 50 hrs ± 1 second, with a sudden loud sound on the cockpit area microphone channel followed almost immediately by the cessation of recording whilst the crew were copying their transatlantic clearance from Shanwick ATC.

Wires whined as a cold November blast rocked the silver wings, but the engine roar was reassuring to the pilot bundled in the open cockpit.

The large Tactical Information Display ( TID ) in the RIO's cockpit gave an unprecedented amount of information to the aircrew ( the pilot had the ability to monitor the RIO's display ) and, importantly, the AWG-9 could continually search and track multiple targets after Phoenix missiles were launched, thereby maintaining situational awareness of the battlespace.

Due to the flight's routine delay, the pilot and crew were notified of the previous hijackings and were told to be on the alert, though within two minutes Jarrah had stormed the cockpit leaving the pilots dead or injured.

Defence was provided by a Scarf-mounted Lewis gun in the observer's cockpit at the upper wing trailing edge while the pilot had a forward-firing Vickers machine gun.

Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, speed and direction.

They can range from PC laptop-based models of aircraft systems to simple replica cockpits for familiarisation purposes to more complex cockpit simulations with some working controls and systems to highly detailed cockpit replications with all controls and aircraft systems and wide-field outside-world visual systems, all mounted on six degrees-of-freedom ( DOF ) motion platforms which move in response to pilot control movements and external aerodynamic factors.

If a pilot looked across the cockpit towards the other pilot's display monitors, he saw distortions or even " black holes " because his viewing angle was outside the viewing volume established for the display units concerned.

Fixed times, like the time needed for the pilot to climb into the cockpit, became an increasing portion of the overall mission time.

Housed in a high building, it featured a cockpit which accommodated a whole bomber crew ( pilot, navigator and bombardier ).

The cockpit offered a full array of instruments which the pilot used to fly the simulated aeroplane.

In 1929, he became the first pilot to take off, fly and land an airplane using instruments alone, without a view outside the cockpit.

The cockpit of an aircraft contains flight instruments on an instrument panel, and the controls which enable the pilot to fly the aircraft.

The layout and function of cockpit displays controls are designed to increase pilot situation awareness without causing information overload.

The Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System ( used for Boeing ) or Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor ( for Airbus ) will allow the pilot to monitor the following information: values for N1, N2 and N3, fuel temperature, fuel flow, the electrical system, cockpit or cabin temperature and pressure, control surfaces and so on.

At 22: 10 Atlantic Time ( 01: 10 UTC ), cruising at FL330 ( approximately ), the flight crew — Captain Urs Zimmermann and First Officer Stephan Loew — detected an odor in the cockpit and determined it to be smoke from the air conditioning system, a situation easily remedied by closing the air conditioning vent, which a flight attendant did on Zimmermann's request.
