Pilot Cockpit

A pilot locked a woman co-pilotout of the cockpit of a Sydney-Colombo Sri Lankan Airlines flight when shetook a mid-air toilet break.

A report of hydraulic failure from a Tiruchirappalli-Sharjah Air India Express flight and its subsequent holding pattern may have caused panic on the ground, but things were always under control inside the cockpit, senior sources told NDTV.

On March 23, 1994, Aeroflot Flight 593 from Moscow to Hong Kong crashed which resulted in the deaths of all 75 people on board.

Although there were several navigational errors as a result of the incident, the flight did not result in any injuries to the Airbus A320's 153 passengers or four flight attendants.

During the climb out of Toronto, the pilot declared "mayday," reported an electrical fire in the cockpit and requested an immediate return to the airport of departure.

After hours of routine operations, an air traffic controller gets a radio call from a small aircraft whose cockpit indicators can't confirm that the plane's landing gear is extended for landing.

A British Airways spokesperson blamed a 'technical issue' for the quick about-turn, though they did not specify what had caused the pilots to choose to return to Heathrow.

On Jeff Fell's final flight, he expressed gratitude to his family, who joined as passengers to commemorate his remarkable 32-year journey in the cockpit.

An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who was sitting in a cockpit jump seat on a US commercial flight has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly trying to shut down the plane's engines in flight.

The base was evacuating as Hurricane Idalia headed toward the state.

After two recent incidents of pilots allowing passengers into the cockpit, the aviation regulator has warned airlines against the practice and said that it may jeopardise the safety of aircraft operations.

Over a month after an Air India pilot was grounded for inviting his female friend into the cockpit, the airline has now initiated action against two pilots for inviting a woman into the cockpit of a Delhi-Leh flight last week.

A passenger accidentally closed and locked the door to the plane's control centre on a flight from San Diego to Sacramento earlier this week.

An Air India pilot was suspended for three months for allowing a woman friend to enter and stay in the cockpit during a flight from Dubai to Delhi in February, violating safety norms, and the airline was fined Rs 30 lakh, said the aviation regulator.

Aviation regulator DGCA has issued a show cause notice to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson for the airline's lapses in reporting the incident of a pilot allowing a female friend inside the cockpit during a Dubai-Delhi flight on February 27.
