| Cockpit of a Bae Aircraft |
Just as a cook’s working area is the kitchen, a surgeon- the
surgical wards, so does pilot have his working space. It is called the cockpit
or flight deck-The area in which the pilot controls the aircraft in flight. Like
that of a driver, the cockpit is located in front of the aircraft .It is the
compartment where the pilot sits to control the aircraft while its airborne (in
the air)
The cockpit is made up of a ton of flight controls and
buttons which when applied, move the aircraft in a particular direction or
cause a result. The plain sight of a cockpit can be really overwhelming for an
amateur because of its complexity. Moreover, many people have seen a cockpit
before, only in movies, books, and pictures. This is because the cockpit is
considered to be one of the most delicate compartments in the aircraft, as any
mistake or wrongly pressed button can pose a safety risk on the aircraft and
its passengers.

It is a highly
restricted area in the aircraft and only authorized personnel are permitted to
enter. (Pilots)Even flight attendants need permission to enter in order to
serve the pilots their meals in case they’re operating a long haul flight. To
add, if you’ve noticed in any movies where the aircraft was being hijacked, the
cockpit door is always closed and the pilots aren’t involved in whatever is
happening in the cabin. Unless there's a bomb on board!
