Copy & paste this link below into your browser if you’re into flight decks!




The following address gives a 360deg panorama of the A380
cockpit......rather brilliant on a 22in monitor.
Does not take long to download. Allows you to pan left and right as well
as vertical.

And they still put placards on the door with masking tape!

OK, that's a LOT more buttons and switches than in the Cessna 172!

What are the two large half dome shaped objects on the center console,
just below the keyboards, forward of the radio displays, and outboard
of the throttle handles? Seems like they would be in the way when
trying to use the keyboard, unless they're some odd kind of wrist
rest.

Is the camera on the aft rear ceiling for the passengers to watch the
cockpit, to record for the "black box" in case of a problem, or both?

On a critter this big, they can watch a sunset out the front and a sunrise
on the back-up cam...

They're plam rests to stabilize your hand when typing on the keyboard.

Thanks. I know that it can be tough hitting the radio or transponder
buttons even in light turbulence in a small plane, but thought that a
palm rest would be shaped differently, more concave than convex.
