3 Short operational questions
Hello,
I´ve noticed that planes that arrive in the evening and are scheduled to depart early in the morning remain with the nav lights on. For example I saw a KLM 737 that parked in Gothenburg at 22PM and was scheduled to depart at 07AM had the navlights on and the cabin lights on. The cockpit was dark and crew were long gone. Why? Does this mean that pilots don´t shut the plane down completley when doing the securing checklist?
What is the reason for the cabinlights off during t/o and l/a in darkness? I´ve heard many different reasons.
I noticed on Ryanair that when the captain whent to the toilet, a Flight attendant had to get into the cockpit and stay there untill the captain had gotten in again, why?
Thanks!!
