The high quality video includes two flights in Estonian Air Boeing 737-500 flight deck which are Tallinn (Ulemiste) - Oslo (Gardermoen) and Oslo - Tallinn. The journey begins with preflight preparations. When pushing back from the gate 2, all the procedures regarding the aircraft's departure can be seen including the panel configuration, ground crew discussion with captain and then take-off briefing given by the first officer during taxi. While in cruise, the pilots take out the charts for Oslo, listen to the ATIS, fill in the weather information on the landing card and program the FMC (Flight Management Computer) for the arrival route. In Gardermoen the aircraft is re-fueled and prepared for the leg back to Tallinn. You can see the programming of the FMC unit from the very beginning and a peek to the cabin while the airport staff cleans it.
All the checklist procedures can be seen throughout the video from Preflight Preparation to Shut Down and ATC can be also heard in the background all the time. After watching the video you will probably have a quite good overview of all the normal procedures, cockpit layout and how everything is done in a modern 120-seat airliner.
The 108-minute video is available on DVD for $29.95 and as a download version for $16.95. The shipping of the DVD is free.
