tobbe490 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) In the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington, the captain arrives at the same time as the passengers are boarding. He then sits down in cockpit and asks his co-pilot if he have done the preflight procedures. Then the push back starts. Is this correct? Does this ever happens in the real world?

SwissCyul Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 The movie was really bad... I wouldn't compare it to a real situation. Normally you do the pre-flight procedures with your Co-Pilot The way he flies the plane is nowhere near to a real procedure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkJackal Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hollywood movies, what you expect, to see the walk around and the full start procedures? In my opinion it was a makeover of Alaska Airlines MD-80 crash, but with happy ending! What Hollywood produce is nothing like real life!

Colin S Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 You're comparing a movie where they flew a mid-size passenger jet inverted in a climb and crashed at high speed and people survived and the pilot was on drugs and... To real life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goran_M Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm sure there are SOME airlines who do it the way it was done in the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
