4. Cockpits and Navigation

Course subject(s) Module A: Introductory module

In this first videoclip of the lecture on Cockpits & Instruments we will investigate the cockpits of old and modern aircraft, and will even visit the cockpit of a Boeing 747!

A small note: At 7:13 in this video Professor Hoekstra indicates the CDU present in this cockpit, and mistakenly calls this the “Command and Display Unit”. That should be the “Control and Display Unit”. Apologies for the inconvenience!
