How do I get a cockpit visit?

Try to ask a member of the cabin crew or cockpit while on the ground. Once again, this may be a struggle during busy flights. When boarding the aircraft, have a look toward the cockpit. If a member of the cabin crew or cockpit crew notices that you would like to visit the cockpit and invites you over, then hooray!

Can you take pictures while flying?

There’s no federal law that prohibits in-flight photography. “Taking pictures of crew members working is not permitted by most U.S. airlines for safety of passengers and crew as well as security of the cabin,” says Taylor Garland, a spokeswoman for the Association of Flight Attendants, a union for airline crew members.

When can a person enter the cockpit during flight?

Under regulation 227 of the CAR, a person is permitted to enter and remain in the crew compartment (cockpit) during flight if the person is a member of the operating crew of the aircraft (paragraph 227 (1A) (a)), or if the person is permitted by the pilot in command to enter the compartment (paragraph 227 (1A) (b)).

Do pilots give mini cockpit tours before or after the flight?

It may seem incredible given the concern about cockpit security, but if you ask, many pilots are more than willing to give mini cockpit tours before or after the flight. The best time for a visit is usually after a flight has landed, since that’s when pilots tend not to be as rushed.

Is it an offence for a pilot to fly with no passengers?

The pilot does not commit an offence if the flight only has persons who are on board for a safety, security, operational or training need. This could be, for instance, a ferry flight or a freight flight carrying no passengers.

What do pilots want from passengers?

Blair says, “Pilots love to get visitors, especially wide-eyed children. It makes their day to have the chance to show off their ‘office.'” The stream of passengers passing through planes each day turns tray tables, armrests, and entertainment-system buttons into germ factories.
