I have a load of cockpit videos from www.worldairroutes.com and also ITVV.I much prefer ITVV, as they seem to be a lot more in-depth, but the World Air Routes are good too. WAR have an immense range, just check out their website.I do love the VIrgin 744 one. However, my personal favourite is the Go Beoing 737-300 one. I go back to watching it time and time again - the detail and camera angles are just incredible. BOth pilots are very interesting and informative, as well as being informally but professionally presented.The Go one is a definite reccomendation from me.I personally didn't like the Cathay one greatly. The simulator part was nice, with stalls, engine-outs etc, but I thought the coverage of the RW flight was very poor indeed. Especially the arrival into Kai Tak - I expected them to cover this fantastic approach in detail, but the camera angles and the visibility were poor, and most of the time you were just looking into the cockpit without seeing any of the outside. You can also tell that for the exterior approach and landing shots it was a completley different flight, as the conditions were bright, clear blue skies.

Hi guys,I haven't seen the video but I am sure that when the FO mentions something about page 2 he is referring to Progress page 2. This has the wind info (Head or Tailwind and crosswind component). In our airline it is common procedure for the PF to have Prog 2 on his CDU. The FO would have to reach across and select it for him. The FMC's do cross talk and any info entered in one will be transfered to the other. The autopilot needs to get it's info from somewhere so a master FMC is designated and is pilot selectable. The L is usually selected as the master.CheersSteev
