I am flying ORD-KHI-Question about visiting the cockpit
Hey guys,
I am soo excited to go to Pakistan on November 29th from Chicago to Karachi. But before I left, I wanted to ask if anybody can tell me how I can visit the cockpit. I have never been in the 777 cockpit and would be THRILLED to visit it, of course any and all photos will be posted ASAP
I heard that you have to make a flight log or something. But I dont know so if anyone has any tips or procedures on how to actually get into the cockpit that would be AWESOME!!
Thanks in advance!!

If you are flying Business class, it will be a lot easier. Otherwise, you may politely request one of the flight attendents and they may ask the captain. I do not know who is taking that flight to Manchaster, if I knew the captain, I might be able to help you. Word of caution, let the plane attain it's cruising altitutude and after the food has been served before you ask. Bon Voyage!

PK794 ORD-MAN is being operated by Capt Adil.
Getting the permission to visit the flightdeck is all dependent on timing.
Ask only when the plane is well into cruise, when the Pilot workload is the lowest.
Also its better to ask after the Cabin crew has served and collected the meal trays. Wait till they are just chilling on their jump seats.

That might really be a help....Capt. Adil might know your dad but u never know...Hasson2k2 wrote:hehehe yea i'll be sure not to call him oy Ga.
Actually my father was an engineer in PIA for 19 years and my grandfather and uncle were the Chief of Engineering and Director of Engineering in PIA. So I'll put that in my log.
Airblue who is your father? I'm sorry but I do not know.
and my father used to be a PIA Twinotter Capt. He was that for about 9 years without raise in pay and promotion but now he is in Airblue, hence forum member Airblue and that i guess answers ur questioin
