Cockpits

Postby expat » Sat May 10, 2008 12:50 am

A320 and 737-800 cockpits. Unfortunately compression has completely killed these pictures, but that sometimes it the price we have to pay. Anyway some views you would not normally see.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The secret is a tripod naturally and a long exposure. The most important thing however and this would seem to be against what you would think, is to set the cockpit lighting to it's lowest setting, almost to the point that you think it is way too low for a picture. These where taken with a two to four second exposure time. If you try to use flash, then you just end up with a very hard cockpit and black screens as they have an anti reflex coating.

Always know you have an Airbus when there's no yoke. I like the Boeing over the Airbus. Never been a fan of any Airbus. The 737-800 is my favorite aircraft next to the CL-604.
