Landing in cockpit when flying as a passanger.
I was just wondering if there is a chance to be in the cockpit during takeoff/landing. If I ask a pilot before the flight can I stay in the cockpit, is there any chance for him to let me?
Flight deck for T/O & Ldg
Hi Pawel747,
I think the short answer with the regulations as they are to - day, is a simple, Not a chance in hell!!
Furthermore, even polite requests for Flight deck rides, may result in your being interviewed by some rather large & unfriendly gentlemen.
Unfortunate, but these days, I would definitely, not even ask.

Do you know any fairly senior pilots? I know of a person that got a jumpseat ride all the way across the pond in an A330 with a well known, long established, European carrier. However it took a lot of paperwork and a lot of cooperation from that pilot and the airline. That may be a good place to start.
In terms of just rocking up and asking if you can sit in the cockpit when you board your next commercial flight then the chances will be next to nothing apart from, as FT says, trying a carrier outside of the US/Europe.
