I studied commercially available information videos on various aircraft types, showing pilots at work during scheduled flights and in sessions in full mock-up cockpit simulators.
Despite all the computer automation, the displays and dials and lights and buttons and switches, the airline cockpit is a site rich in language.
In the airline cockpit, and-prefacing occurs as pilots collaborate to ensure timely performance of flight actions for work.
The hijackers had gained entry to the cockpit, and she did not know how.
The forward section of the fuselage, which would have housed the covered pilot's cockpit and forward observer's cabin, was missing.
The remainder is consumed by the de-icing system for the cockpit windows and the water pipes in the galleys and toilets.
From subsequent examination it appears that part of the reason may have been due to the smell of smoke that arose in the cockpit.
I used naturally occurring data, transcriptions from video recordings of airline pilots interacting in the cockpit on actual scheduled passenger flights.
