Pilot YouTuber Gives a Tour of Secret Room Under Airplane Cockpit
Bjorn starts his secret tour of the aircraft by showing the rest compartment for the crew (pilot included) — it’s a tiny area made up of one seat and two beds separated by curtains. But the real juicy stuff comes when Bjorn shows a mysterious narrow trapdoor inside the cockpit that leads to a secret room via a skinny ladder: the avionics compartment.
The avionics room is filled from floor to ceiling with computers that operate the plane. It’s basically like a huge server room. From the avionics room, available only to authorized staff, one can also access the landing gears and the cargo hold.
