I'm sorry if I hurt you in my purpose but to what the invisible said (3 chairs and a blanckett) it makes me react. I don't say that pilot is the most, greater , difficult, etc job, i just say that pilots are being the center point to reduce danger during flights. All the work of the engineers has reached the perfection, that's why there is few problems with all equipements on board. The thing is, and that is my concern and hopefully yours, reducing danger in aeronautics, nowadays, comes by concentrating on pilots and how we could help him to do his job. Ideas like limiting his action on the interface, introducing new automatic pilot controls is very imortant , but as much as there will be pilots in aircraft we should also concentrate on him (human factors). In this, modifying pilots behaviour like introducing naps during flights ( Airbus Industrie-LAA. Copying with long-range flying. Recommandations for crew rest and alertness.- Blagnac)is one important fact.
Airbus and Boeing are working a lot on human factors to introduce in their planes more security by watching pilots activity and alertness.
The conception of new types of rest rooms for new type of flights very long haul > 18 hours seems important for good rest=good alertnes=less danger. Source of discomfort often experienced by pilots are vibration, noise and low cabin air humidity, this is not suitable for such flights.
All ideas coming from pilots, cabin crew and engineers are important because there are the same or different and this makes ideas progress.
Thanks for your interesting point of view.
Does anyone now where i could find images of rest cabin of 777 and other log haul aircrafts?
Thanks for your help
