March 29, 201412 yr Hi, I only got the german title of this docu series on National Geo. So, so often I see videos of the wrong cockpit or even the wrong typ of aircraft. Like what I see right now: A B737-800 crashes while approaching Amsterdam Schipol, 25. Feb 2009 They show a Cockpit of a MD11 or alike with 3 pilots messing around. WHY??? Do they think all who are watching do not know all about aviation? Why do they not make a desent docu, showing the correct details??? Regards, Torben Hadler
March 29, 201412 yr As I remember, the Turkish 738 crash episode presents 737 mockup cockpit and third pilot is in cockpit because he was there in real aircraft. Have you bothered to actually understand the story instead hunting for errors? [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj.

March 29, 201412 yr Author sure I got the story. Very interesting. Seeing a different cockpit as the 737NG while the case is about that a/c is like expecting a special sound together with a picture, but you get something completely different. It confuses me. A mockup instead of spending some money filming in a full motion sim for that... well... Regards, Torben Hadler
March 29, 201412 yr Maybe if you have link we can all see it. I think all the mayday episodes are on YouTube.
March 30, 201412 yr Commercial Member For a start it costs a huge amount of money to lease a simulator for filming. Secondly it would be a nightmare getting all the lighting sound etc setup in such a cramped space just for a documentary. These programs are for the general public, it's not a type rating course. You are thinking too deep about the whole thing. Rob Prest
March 30, 201412 yr It's hit and miss, sometimes it's like they are in a simulator and sometimes not, it doesn't matter to me because the information is still accurate. They seem to have DC-9 and MD80 as the most realistic
