“Flying is much safer than you might think.”

A 2 hour documentary about challenging situations and emergencies performed in a special flight simulator with real pilots

From the makers of Secrets of Ferihegy Airport (also available here)

DETAILS AND CONTENTS:
See an amazing 737NG cockpit based on FS2004 in action!

Using a special, full-size Boeing 737NG cockpit and with the participation of real world pilots, Cockpit Secrets features simulated situations that you can never (or very rarely) see on real flights or in other cockpit videos. The documentary explains that there are precise procedures for virtually every emergency, and flying remains absolutely safe - even in case of failures or challenging weather conditions.

Thanks to the simple narration and over 30 animated illustrations, Cockpit Secrets can be enjoyed and understood by anyone, and there is no doubt that those interested in aviation and flight simulators will also find this documentary absolutely fascinating.

Total running time approx. 116 mins.
Language: ENGLISH audio (narration, pilots), Hungarian parts subtitled in English

    I purchased this video a month or so ago. It’s an excellent video and certainly worth the purchase price. It’s very informative and it will hold your interest from beginning to end. The video itself is slick and very well produced. It uses an actual simulator combined with FS9 for the graphics so every simmer can easily relate to the procedures that the pilots are following. I also learned a number of things from watching it and it’s really interesting to see what pilots do in various emergency situations. I’d highly recommend it.

    I purchased and downloaded this about a week ago. I finally got around to watching it today. The catch phrase for this particular film is "Flying is safer than you think." The overall content focuses on the extensive simulator training that airline pilots are subjected to. There are a slew of emergency scenarios that can arise throughout the course of a flight, and this film pays especially close attention to the safety procedures involved. The bulk of the film takes place from within the simulator cockpit, with a plethora of cutscenes from FS2004 and explanatory animations. The pilots in training demonstrate an outstanding level of professionalism and should be commended for that. Also, I should note that the aircraft in simulation is the 737NG, which is one that I particularly like to fly, as well. It has opened up a whole new world of understanding for me. While I can efficiently fly a normal flight, one without incident and with ideal weather, the film has opened my eyes to systems and subsytems that either I didn't know existed or didn't know what their function was. All in all, the quality of this movie is top-notch, suitable for all audiences. Whether you are a pilot in training yourself, a desktop pilot, or someone just interested in aviation, this film is sure to entertain and educate.
