Reply With QuoteWhat a storm in a tea cup !
Would only be a concern to me if the captain was not in the other seat. Big deal !
Before September 11, I used to be allowed to sit in the co-pilot's seat on Jumbos for a while almost every time I was flying overseas.

Jetstar in the news:

An apparently impromtu photo call in the pilot's seat by a cabin crew member during a flight is under investigation. CASA claims it will not act on anonymous photos.

Perhaps you are right. Not trained personally as a pilot I cannot say. Maybe others can confirm or deny whether or not the article is correct in saying "air safety regulations only allow appropriately licensed and qualified persons to occupy a control seat while an aircraft is in flight".Originally Posted by DTM1
I do recall the Aeroflot airbus crash, although, arguably, a very different situation in that the cockpit visitors (the pilot's kids) were allowed to touch the controls:

Again, a wonderful display of jurno incapability of comprehending a situation from a "non" situation. Ben Sandilands has visions of grandeur on his mind perhaps believing an award is in the pipeline for his desk jockey reporting

Mr!
I am curious to find out whether such situations breach safety process. My impression (as a non pilot I must stress) is that air safety is very much driven by a need to follow process.
Mmmkay, why do they pixel the guy's watch??
And how the hell do you know if it's in flight - you cant see out the window - it could be a simulator for all they know? And i cant make out any airspeed of altitude indicators - they could be parked on the ground for all we know.
Having said that, if it is genuine, it's just given me another reason NOT to fly onestar.
What a joke.. Can they even confirm there were passengers in the plane? Perhaps it was a positioning flight.
And as the CAR's state:
"CAR 1988 227
(3) The pilot in command of an aircraft shall admit an authorised person
to the crew compartment and allow that person to occupy the seat or
position appropriate for the performance of his or her duties if the pilot
in command is not of the opinion that the person’s admission to the
crew compartment or occupation of that seat or position, as the case
may be, would endanger the safety of the aircraft."
I used to go up the pointy end every chance I got. Years ago friend who was a SO at the time has a photo of himself in the left hand seat on his first 747-400 flight to LHR.
Does the journalist know that you can fly the plane equally as well from the Right hand seat? Or does that make bad news?
Well, well, well

this is a good example of Beno's whinging and I think that all credibility he may of had is easily diluted with the comments in this article...

Dunno, maybe either the watch itself or other mark (eg tattoo) are considered to be sufficient to aid identification.
Looks like the throttles are well forward (not, I must stress, that I am a pilot) suggesting at least they are in flight (or possibly in a simulator).
