Today we're flying in the Etihad 777300ER flight deck. We've got the jumpseat from Rome Fiumicino over to Abu Dhabi’s new Zayed International Airport on EY86, and this is the first time we’ve done a 777 cockpit video. We’ve got plenty of power, a great crew, and of course, some GPS jamming once again. We’ll take a look at some of the software Etihad uses for increased situational awareness and flight planning too, hear from the pilots about such diverse topics as whether they like the 777 and why, what they have to do in the 777 when they lose the GPS, how the radios work, high terrain escape route planning, Airbus vs Boeing, how they calculate the mix of thrust reverser and braking on landing and more. Hope you enjoy it!
