    Concorde Flightdeck Detail

    Flight deck - Main menu

    The Concorde Flightdeck looks complicated however it can be easily broken down into smaller areas which will give a better understanding of the layout.

     

    Concorde operated with three flightdeck crew menbers they were;

     

    Pilot

    First officer

    Flight engineer

     

    Each crew member had a station in the cockpit and played a vital role in the operation of the aircraft.


    Here we will explain the operation of each seperate area in the Concorde cockpit and which crew member was responsible for that area.

    Why not join in with discussions on the latest Concorde developments

    Our Facebook forum is where we discuss in detail our current projects, share photo's and where fans of the aircraft can ask questions direct to the engineering team. We are proud to be associated with both Brooklands restoration and the Le Bourget Conservation team so the pool of knowledge is immense. Many of our engineers have years of knowledge of working on the aircraft. So like our site, join our forum and follow us on Twitter.
