PilotsEye makes some crazy good cockpit videos. Basically their crews have flown along on a variety of flights and have cameras mounted throughout the cockpit, which makes for some great footage.
Most of the time the videos are just of run of the mill flights, which are already interesting from a passenger’s perspective, since we rarely get to see what goes on in the cockpit.
But here’s an especially interesting one from a couple of years back, where a Swiss Airbus A340 flight between Zurich and Shanghai had an engine overheat. You can witness how the crew responds to the situation, turns off the engine, dumps fuel, informs the passengers of the situation, and takes a chocolate and coffee break. 😉
Here’s the awesome video:
Interesting stuff, eh?
