“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.

    Although the content of this video may be of great interest, this is never the less all time worst video product from a technical point of view that probably exists on mother earth.
Even starting up this video is a mess from a to z.
When you finally have managed to get to the menu in order to have english audio but NO hungarian subtitles you think everything is prepared. It's not. All your settings get messed up all the time. They seem to have build in an automatic-mess-up-engine in this video. Anoying is only the first letter in their first name. I have a huge amount of flight videos and other videos. None of them cause any problems at all.
It's impossible to navigate to any chapter in a proper way. You never know what's comming up and with which configuration if anything comes up at all. Hence you have to look at the whole video to watch the last chapter over again if you manage to have the video play more than the intro...- and you'll never know which language comes up and with what subtitles if any.
This is truly bad, bad, bad. I throw it away today and as I care about the environment it will in a week or two have been re-circulated into new plastic compond !
