An immersive tour inside the world’s most successful widebody flight deck.
For an extended, documentary-style experience, JustPlanes has produced multiple A330 cockpit films, including a five-hour program featuring the A330-900neo on routes across the Indian Ocean. These productions use multiple cameras to capture takeoffs, landings, and everything in between.
Automation handles routine monitoring, allowing just two pilots to manage long-haul flights safely.
